Hi,
I made a virtual reality environment on SG Indy running Performer on
Irix 5.2. Now I would like to use the VPL Data Glove instead of the mouse to
interact with it. The problem is:

How to connect a simple device like VPL DG that use only Transmit Data,
Receive Data and Signal Ground of the serial port (standard RS232) to
the Silicon Graphics Indy?

I tried to drive the serial port via /dev/ttyd1 file, but it's
impossible to set it neither with the stty command that follows:

(stty 19200 cread raw -onlcr -tostop -echo -parenb -cstopb cs8 ignbrk
 -brkint ignpar -istrip igncr -icrnl -ixoff -ixon -isig -icanon
 -opost) < /dev/ttyd1

nor with the '>' instead of '<'. In the latter case it's the command shell
that change its behaviour.

I tried to drive the serial port via System Manager on Desktop,
but it allows to connect to the serial port only Spaceball,
Digitizer Tablet, Dials & buttons, Printer, Terminals at a speed
not higher than 9600 baud.

Is there someone that can help me?

Please send the answer to email: camicio++at++aguirre.ing.unifi.it

Thank's in advance and Happy New Year.

Ciao.

Riccardo.
