I bought one of these modules 5 years ago for a senior project, using
a Milton Bradley Big Trak as the base, and the Polaroid module as the
input.  

Steve Ciarcia's columns in Byte (no longer) had at least 2 project that
used them, which has much information about how to use these systems.

You can get these from one of these two sources:

	Circuit Cellar
	4 Park St
	Vernon, CT 06066
	(203) 875-2751

	or

	Micromint
	4 Park St
	Vernon, CT  06066
	(203) 871-6170
	(800) 635-3355

but these two sources are pretty close to being the same source.  Try the
800 number first.
