[comp.sys.amiga.tech] X-specs Control

Is there anyone out there that can tell me of a way to open and close
the shutters on the X-specs 3D glasses from Amigabasic?

    The X-Specs library included in the developer's package
from Haitex will allow you to control the glasses from any
language.  The needed BMAP is in there too.  I think this
package is almost ready for release. Call Haitex at (803)
881-7518 and maybe they can get you a copy.

The bit for joystick fire button is the shutter control. (Was it bit 6 or
bit 7 in $BFE001). First you set define this bit (pin) OUTPUT by corresponding
control bit. If I remember correctly, a 1 means right lens open, left shut.
And quess what a 0 means ;-).

Because I don't have the glasses (only tried the programs with SEGA-glasses
and a self-built interface) I'm not sure if the X-specs interface needs updating
every frame or so. It's possible that it turns both lenses open if the signal
stays same for some time.

P.S. The effect is really great, btw.
