    I could swear I saw it in an A manual once, which made no sense at all. I don't have time to go look right now.

    I always LOL'd at that communication string, but what baffles me is why it's mentioned in an Interface A manual! I can't recall which one right now.

    What does this have to do with the discussion topic?
  4. evank
    Tested?

    1. Yes, I administer the "Vintage Lego Robotics" folder on Archive.org. So anybody who uploads relevant documentation or software should tag that folder. (I have a lot more to add! I recently acquired many teacher's manuals/books for Control Lab. I'm in NJ, USA but a friend in Sydney, Australia is going to scan it all for me.) 2. My primary interest in Interface A, not B. Most of what I learned in those conversations (Chris Rogers is one person I talked to, but there were others) is documented on the History page of my website, www.brickhacks.com: https://www.brickhacks.com/0.php ... The entire site is overdue for an update because I have a lot more information to add. It's just a challenge of finding the time. I spend most of my free time actually building models to control with Interface A. (Interface B is for wimps < ducks >)

    It would be awesome to have a single Apple II card that can control multiple Interface A devices! Then I can get back some functionality that I've had to remove from my development machine, so that I had enough 9767 cards for my most complicated projects.

    I have nothing to add, other than Comal is also included in the German manual for the Lego - Commodore 64 cable.

    Fantastic!

    @AJB2K3 check your messages.

    It looks like you're using 9V motors but 9750 only outputs 4ish volts. What am I missing?
  12. evank
    LOL - Cray. Juuuuuuuuust a bit overkill. It would be cool to see 9750 interfaced to that pocket computer! :) @Gunners TekZone in case you haven't seen it already, here is a video I made about the current 9767 options:

    You're welcome. A few weeks ago I happened to see on Facebook Marketplace that someone a couple of hours from me was selling a massive haul of Dacta sets. He wanted a substantial sum. We negotiated a deal and I drove out there. I don't need most of the sets (so I'm trying to sell them: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/212437-fs-several-early-dacta-sets/) ... mostly I was willing to lay out the money because his stash of rare Lego educational manuals was overwhelming.

    I recently acquired several Control Lab teacher's manuals that are not scanned anywhere. So I am rectifying this. :) It's going to take a couple of months. Michael Mulhern (known in the Apple II community) is going to do the scanning on our behalf. Then it goes here: https://archive.org/details/vintagelegorobotics

    Yes. https://archive.org/details/lego_c64_manual_basic_comal/mode/2up -- starting on page 5.

    Archive.org's browser emulation can not connect to physical hardware. I confirmed this with Jason Scott, who built the emulator.

    I rescued a large amount of Control Lab stuff last weekend. I was digging through it and found (surprise!) 5.25 Apple II LogoWriter Robotics. LOL I think it's hysterical to find that in the wild NOW after we all just got it a few months ago.

    I rescued a large amount of Control Lab sets last weekend. It included the Intelligent House disk (for Mac) so I'll see about archiving that one.

    I built a working punch card reader from Lego, with an Apple //e and Lego Interface A as the middleware. https://youtu.be/Z6RxhnPO7SQ This was much fun to build :) so I hope you all enjoy it!

    I don't have the PC manuals, but it is probably very similar operation, because Lego Lines etc. are similar. I'm still planning to scan and upload the Apple LWR manuals soon. When I do, I encourage you to follow their instructions on the PC version and see for yourself how they compare. :)
  23. evank
    I love that Lego Lines is mostly just BASIC.
  24. evank
    Not sure if you meant me :) but no, I wasn't confused. I am talking about the language under the UI that talks to Interface A, not the programming language used to write the actual Control Lab software. Thanks for clarifying that is indeed Logo.

    @Reza as Toastie said, you can go to Archive.org and you'll find tons of instructions and documentation. Basically you make a free account and just start uploading, within their guidelines. My "vintage Lego robotics" folder there is ONLY for the named topic, so I can't help you with town/city or anything else that isn't relevant to my topic. Nothing is permanent in the online world. Archive.org is probably as close as you can get.
