[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] Mattel PowerGlove Software Interface

reed@oboe.cs.uiuc.edu (Daniel Reed) (07/24/90)

The July '90 issue of byte contains a description of a hardware
and software interface that will allow the Mattel/NES Powerglove
to be used on an IBM PC compatible.  I have a Powerglove and the
necessary hardware, but I need a copy of the assembly program PG.COM,
part of which is listed on page 289 of the July '90 Byte issue?  
The article says it is available from BIX ...

Does anyone out there have a copy of the code that they could send me?
I don't want to wait the two-four months needed to get a copy from
Byte, and I'm not a BIX subscriber.

Many thanks,

  That article was neat!  Wish I had a power glove.  Hey, could you tell us 
how it goes?

  If you don't suscribe to BIX - no problem.  You can call BYTENet at (617) 
861-9764, as it says on page 5 of Byte.  Program Listings are always 
availabe there too.  I've gotten some listings from that number.  It's a 
Fido BBS run on PC's that anyone can call.

  Good luck!
