I recently read Stewart Brand's book "The Media Lab", which is about MIT's
media lab.  One of the projects Brand writes about is "LEGO/Logo", an interface
between an Apple IIe running Logo and the LEGO system of building blocks.
To quote the book: "...soon destined to be a commercial product.  The interface
box connects to a variety of LEGO-compatible motors, touch sensors, infrared 
sensors, and light sensors - basic robot equipment."

Has anybody seen this, or a similar computer/toy interface scheme?  Most
importantly, where and when will it be available?

If this is a good as it sounds I'll sell my Atari ST, abandon plans to buy an
AT, and use the money on an Apple and LEGO set.  I might even let my kids use
it :-)
