Unwinder UW-3

[Eschaton]

Anyone ever play with an Unwinder UW-3?

The Technology Play Group web site went away, but is obviously still available via archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20080122182342/http://this.is:80/tpg/products/unwinder/

It looks like an interesting little bit of hardware that, even if it can’t be found these days, could probably be recreated easily given the specifications online.

Interesting product

The concept of converting the joystick/MIDI signals to serial messages and vice versa seems pretty straightforward... I might take a look at doing such a thing if I start loading up Descent 1/2 on some machines!

How’s that Descent loading coming along ?

@onre had a working modern and up to date port of DXX Rebirth a while back using our tooling so it definitely is possible
