- I'm still interested in interfacing to a Mac and I've had the
- following idea. How feasible is it to use an IBM as a dedicated
- interface unit and have it output a signal to com port which would
- then hook to a Mac? The IBM could constantly poll both (or more)
- gloves and keep the info handy, then the Mac would send a request for
- either glove and the IBM would send a packet of info....
-
- This one's to anyone with a clue about the PGSI: how easy will it be
- to hook this thing to a Mac? I've gathered that so far everything's
- been done on an IBM.
