Oops, there's the cat out of the bag for the project I couldn't tell
anyone about. ;-)

It looks MUCH smaller than I imagined it.

Kev is shipping a few of the adapters but he was waiting on some parts
to make more.

Regards,
Rob S.

Is Kevin still taking orders for these?

He said he's gearing up to make more, so I'd expect yes.

Yes, I'd like to know that too

Kev if you're reading this, where did you buy the connectors from ? + can
you get them with a case (i.e. so they can have a cable attached).


(BTW like how you've used that heat shrink tubing, beats having to have a
custom case made)

That is really cool :^)

I have a pair of those Sega glasses, converted to a sort of skiing glasses,
as a friend of mine broke one of the feet.

I made an Amiga interface for it and it worked really well with 3D animation
software. There are just so many interesting things being made for the
Vectrex, it's really amazing.

It looks to me like what you get when you peel the metal shroud off of a
standard DB-9...

Just was paying Kev a courtesy. Didn't want to spoil it if Kev was
planning to make the announcement himself.

Yes, I will be offering them soon. I need to make a web page about it and
make an instruction sheet for its use.

I want to purchase one of these as soon as they are available... I
don't have SMS goggles but I DO have Laseractive goggles (same thing
but much heavier and sturdier)...

I would like to place a standing order for two of your adapters.

he's been talking about it forever on #rgvc irc channel, that's why I
didn't think it was any kinda secret.

Thanks. Sounds good. Kev, if you read this please add me to those waiting in
line.

I'm haggling over a deal for some SMS glasses right now :)

Cheers
Marc
