The glove worked like a charm.  Need to work on placement of the contacts
to make it easier to use.  Some of the positions I would have to bend my
fingers into to make the contacts line up are impossible without two
hands. :)  Only problem is it only worked for 10 minutes and then it
suddenly stopped working.  I unplugged it and tried it again and it worked
for a couple of minutes and then it stopped.  The IC got really hot, and I
decided it was dead and got a new keyboard and repeated the tests.  Same
problems only this time the computer shutoff, so I suspect a wiring
problem in the cable is shorting out power to the key-glove.  Luckilly it
didn't short through my hand. :)

I'll let you know if I get this working with a third chip. :-\  But after
three I'm calling it quits.
