In our lab we have an IBM 7565 hydraulic-actuated gantry robot.
This robot is controlled by a wardrobe-sized computer called "Series/1"
based upon a 20-years-technology which has at least these
undesirable features:

- low performance
- somewhat unreliable electronics
- no support for interconnection and networking.

Does anyone know of a controller for the 7565 running on a different
platform either supporting the same language (AML) or a  different one ?

		Thanks.
