All I have are at MC-Link 'intelligiochi' site. Sorry, don't remember the URL.
I am (very slowly) developing a robot but it is top secret ;)
Do you know that "our" Tom Poindexter is the author of the original C-robots
? It was year 1985... I was just a kid and bought by mistake my first copy
of McMicrocomputer magazine. On the advertisements, among C64 floppy drives
and Apple II 16k expansion boards, a new IBM PC AT (286) with 512k ram +
video mono at only 8190 Euro (!!). But hey, it was for heavy computation,
multitasking applications ;-)) Now, I am writing this message on a 386
laptop, paid 36 Euro with 8 megs of RAM, but Tom Poindexter is again with
us. And UNIX too. Long life to them!
