There is a company in Portland, Maine by the name of Harper Electronics that
made a robot control device some time ago.  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.
