- Can you explain what is necessary to do this? I don't know much about the
- Dave Brown program except that I've liked it every time I've played with it,
- but the cost drives me away. I bet an old pre-91 AM transmitter would be fairly
- easy to find, though.
-
- What are the resistance values necessary for the IBM gameport, and which gimbal
- pots go to which pins?
-
- Oh, and how much does the program cost without the control unit? I have never
- seen it for sale that way.
-
- Also, last weekend at the Chicago Hobby Model Show, I met the fellow who authored
- the DB simulator. I don't rememeber his name, but I am curious if he is reading
- this. If so, I'm the bearded guy that did the eight-point roll, and attempted the
- rolling circle, on Sunday afternoon. :-)
