Hi Guys,
Since you seem to be the ones who "didn't throw that stuff away", like me
:-)
Thought you might like to look at this:
P.R.CRANE is a Computer Demolition Project that creates a PC-Controlled
Robot Crane.
You can control the crane manually with the arrow keys, have it learn a
series of steps, and create and edit a robot control program. P.R.CRANE is
made from an old IBM 5152 Graphics Printer, plus about $25 of parts
available at the hardware store and Radio Shack
You can find this at
www.terryking.us (Hit the PARPORT button), and then
PRCrane is a one-liner near the top.
Somehow I think you'd also have an old DOS machine to run this... If not,
there are ways to force
XP to let go of it's IO-Priviledge compulsion...
Let me know if you get one of these running... I have some photos of kids
running these a few years ago.
Also: Anyone have an old XT that you want to know what to do with??? I have
an idea.
