PowerGlove Serial Interface

Note: We do not sell PGSI units anymore.

The PowerGlove Serial Interface (PGSI) was designed by the Special Interest Group for Computer Architecture in 1992/1993. The PGSI allowed a user to interface a Nintendo PowerGlove to any computer that has a standard serial port. It also included a jack to drive a pair of SEGA shutter glasses, enabling three dimensional graphics on one's computer monitor.

In addition to gathering data from a PowerGlove, the PGSI also provides a SEGA jack that drives a pair of SEGA shutter glasses When used with proper driver software, the SEGA shutter glasses provide the illusion of three dimensional graphics on your Mac, PC or Workstation.

Beneath the casing of the PGSI is a Motorola 68HC11 microprocessor that handles all data collection from the PowerGlove. A Maxim MAX232 chip handles the conversion of voltages to serial levels. Unfortunately, we do not still have the board layout files or the HC11 assembly code required to program the chips.
