Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out how I can resurrect 5 lovely kits.  The folks at
LEGO have been less than helpful.  These are programmable kits that ran off
Apple IIgs computers.  There's an interface with wires that connect to various
switches/motors.  What I need:

1. A chance to talk with a guru about getting these kits working, especially
through the computer interface.

2. A source for the software (I have the interface card and everything else).

3. Any helpful advice.  I teach k-6 science at a small, rural public school.
The kids that have seen and built from these kits are drooling over the
possibilities these kits represent.

I apologize for the lack of part/model numbers, etc. as I'm at home and don't
have the sets at hand.

Thanks in advance!  Dwight
