That's what I get for nor reading completely, it sez so right there... What Windoze 3.x software works with the M-Motion? I've still got one of these with the cable. -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://www.jlaforums.com

This computer is from Space Center Houston. It was used to drive a simulator. It was decommissioned in 1999 or so. The software they used is still on the hard disk. This one doesn't have windows, but rather has a DOS program that runs as a space shuttle simulator. It didn't have the cables with it unfortunately. --Daniel > > > > -- > The information contained in this post is copyright the > poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by > http://www.jlaforums.com

My Gearbox 800 was also from the Johnson Space Center. Not really that much of idea what it was used for, but it did have Windows 3.1 installed. Had a serial number of 002 (the Gearboxes were serialized specifically for the customer at the time of sale), so there is supposed to be at least another "one" around. David David@IBMMuseum.com

I don't suppose that it still has a space center asset tag attached? -- The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://www.jlaforums.com
