I am a grad student.  Currently, I need to arrangement a lab for yr 2
undergrad students.  I am working with two SCORBOT 5 and two SCORBOT 7.
I think using these robot arms to act as experiment is OK.  Yet the
documentations come with the arms do not match with the software.

As the market is very limited in Hong Kong, the technical support is not
technical and efficient enough.

The lab will be started in mid of Jan.  I will write the lab sheets 2
wks later.  I want to present the experiment to students in Macintosh's
HyperCard.  Hope I can do that.

I do not have in depth technical information like the commands format for
the controller (the TextBook 2 had published the commands format for
SCORBOT III).

The manual said softwares are available for Apple II, TRS-80 and IBM PC.
We had got the PC version.  As a die-hard Mac user, I would like the
generate commands from Mac in the future.
