I'm not familiar with the Wirz board, however the board I built used the regular "motor output" of the handyboard with no modification required. The trick was to use an opto-isolator to "recover" the forward and backward logic states. That was done (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
