Does anyone have any ideas how to put the power glove into
hi-res mode?  I was thinking there are a few different ways
that it could be done:
 
1) the nintendo system sends a program to the glove.
2) the nintendo system sends a secret code to the glove
   which tells it to load a pre-existing program.
3) the nintendo system tells the glove to use a specific
   pre-existing program #.
4) the user tells the glove to use a specific pre-existing
   program #.


Now, if the way it is done is #1, then it is essentially
impossible to figure it out on ourt own.  If it is #2, then
it will be difficult, but not impossible.  If it is #3 or
#4, then we should be able to find it just by trying all 
possible program numbers (probably either 256 or 65536)
manually.  I would appreciate it if someone who knows would
post anything, otherwise, I will try out the assumption that
it is #3 or #4.  The other assumption that I am making is 
that the connection described in BYTE will allow all the 
information to be sent.
 
I tried different programs, and most seemed very similar to 
1-14, but I noticed that 104 sometimes seems to get info
from 4 fingers, but I'm not sure the format.  It doesn't seem
to give any position info.  

If anyone else has success, please post it here...  It would
be great to get this info into the public domain.  Then we 
could all start doing more interesting things...
