  I called VictorMaxx, the makers of the CyberMaxx VR headset to ask about
using it with a Mac. I was told that the CyberMaxx has been discontinued,
and that is why Damark has them for $399 at close out prices. The
CyberMaxx will NOT work with the Macintosh, they never came out with the
adapter for it, but said that they  hope to have an adapter out by
July/August. I remember playing with the headset and marathon at MacWorld
Boston '94, and was told that the adapter would be out by X-mas '94. I
wouldn't hold my breath for Mac compatibility from this company, it seems
to be a very LOW priority. Too bad, I was really looking forward to FA-18
and Marathon using this headset <sigh>

  The guy at VictorMaxx did mention that they have a new vastly improved
headset coming out this summer that should work with the Mac, but it's
like $850, which is $450 more than I'm willing to spend.

  So, are there any VR sets out for the Mac, that are actually shipping?

Andy
