Hello out there. I'm just about to purchase a pair of the x-specs 3D. I'd like to find some technical specifications on these specs. I program graphics extensively on the Amiga, and I have two questions about these specs: 1) Where can I obtain technical information about the specs that would allow me to program for them. I mean specific details such as kind of signals, which bus and/or registers are being affected and software codes sent to the specs. 2) Can anyone send me a list of software which supports these specs: games, animation packages, whatever. Somebody mentioned Digipaint3, but I have a hard time seeing how it could. Thanks for any info, ruze veenu@mtfmi.att.com -or- vrr@cbnewsj.att.com Please email the information to me directly. I will summarize if there's any interest. Thanks very much.

I looked at the spex today in a store. They're pretty cute, but there was a severe flicker (at least for me, I have a high sensitivity to it anyway). I want to hook them up to my PC and do some hacking. They plug in to the joystick port. Does anyone know exactly what the port does to the display circuit. I'd assume it just does a +5/0V square wave, but the Amiga joystick port does a lot more than the PC joysticks or parallel ports do. Has anyone run a 'scope on the joystick signals and figured out exactly it works? Thanks, Lance Norskog thinman@cup.portal.com
