Does anyone out there own FisherTechnik's Apple Robotics interface or
any of the corresponding parts? Im interested in getting in contact
with those who have experimented with this cheap approach to robotics
and computer controlled external devices.
Later....

Harper is an Apple Computer dealer and I believe they still sell this unit. I don't have the number handy, but the area code is 207. btw, Rex Harper (hence the name Harper Electronics) is the person that created the game 'SIMON'. The last time I was in the store (about 3 years ago) they had the original prototype board sitting in one of their display cases. I don't have any connection with Harper other than I have purchased products from them when I lived in Portland.

As for robotic equipment for an Apple... There's a company in Fargo ND that makes a pretty nifty little arm that you can hook up to a //e (not sure what else). We had one at our high school, and there's a LOT you can do with it. It comes with its own software and all. I don't have an address or phone number, but if you would like, I can get them (if they are still in business). Until then, Aaron Swiers UD169430@NDSUVM1

It was L&M incorporated, or something like that. I remember thinking it reminded me of L&L productions. That's about as much as I remember.. Osiris
