Lego makes interfaces for the Apple 2 and IBM clones for doing robotics with
Logo. There is another company that makes a similar interface for the Mac.
Bots makes a RS-232 interface and provides software for the Mac. I have
written a Modula-2 library for controlling the Hyperbot interface from an
Amiga.
