     Mitchel Resnick reports, in his paper "LEGO, Logo, and Life", on
exactly such kits.  He writes "LEGO Systems, Inc, markets a version of
LEGO/Logo under the product name LEGO TC logo.  Logo Computer Systems
implemented the software for the commercial version."  The paper can
be found in "Artificial Life", ed. by Christopher G. Langton,
1989, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-09356-1.  I do not have a source
for Lego TC logo, but would suggest looking up Lego Systems in the
usual references and contacting them.
