Last night I downloaded the original ST code and reworked my lores
code for the Amiga and achieved mixed results --  partially due to
an AND instead of an OR (it was late :)  In any case, contrary to
my initial expectation, the glove (in HIRES) seems to work off of the
JOYMOUSE ports on the A3000.  This is, IMO, greatly preferable to a
serial or parallel solution and has the additional benefit of letting
me use my lores cable :)

As to code, I think karazm.math.uh.edu has the Amiga lores code that
I wrote for the JOYMOUSE ports (be warned, it was a quick hack --
but it does multitask :).

QUESTION for those with HIRES working: is the glove supposed to click
audibly in HIRES?
