	I built this kit and used in on top of a modified Milton Bradley
Big Trak as a simple project in turtle building.  The schematic was in
Steve Ciarcia's "Circuit Cellar" about a year or so ago.  It would be
in Byte's index, and maybe in one of the later volumes of Steve's
Circuit Cellar compilation books.
	I bought the actual kit from Micromint, the company that 
supplies parts and kits for a lot of the cellar projects.  They
advertise every month in Byte.

	By the way....it worked!!!  It was pretty darn neat!!
