PowerGlove

	Okay, all of you know that I'm talking about, I'll assume, but
here's a quick recap just in case:

	Mattel released an accessory for the NES called the Power Glove.
It's pretty much a ringmouse with finger position capabilities for 3
fingers and a thumb.  Same ultrasonic system and all.

	I know that ultrasonics tend to make for overly bulky,
unmanageable interfaces for wearables, but I'm thinking about doing it
anyway.  The idea isn't to make it a pointing device, but to have the
wearable track my arm, hand, and finger movements and record them
over the course of the day.  As such, I don't need extremely high
resolution, so if I can shrink down (read: take a hacksaw to) the
ultrasound frame, it just might be doable.

	Here's the problem.  There's at least 4 or 5 different interfaces
to the Power Glove for the PC.  Does anyone here know which would work
best?  Even better, does anyone know where I can get one of the old
interface boxes?  I'd rather not build it myself, since this is really a
one shot, and this is the only glove I'll be able to get for a while
(saving up for a twiddler 2 next).

Thanks in advance,
CK
