Well, so far I haven't found an extension cord to do the Byte magazine idea
for connecting it to my PC, but I did have an idea...  How about sending input
from the Power glove through the game port?  The game port has 4 analog inputs
(I think).  Now, the glove has a total of 11 analog outputs (2 3D positions, 5
fingers).  Is it possible to have 2 game ports (somehow using separate 
addresses)?

This would allow the position/rotation plus the thumb and forefinger inputs.  
Also, if anyone has info about the source code mentioned in the BYTE magazine, 
please post the source code, or at least the phone number for the byte bbs.
Thanks.
