These units are ultra rare (I have 2, but don't have a good battery amongst them, nor a charger). They were made specifically for Sears IINM. Had the ability to communicate over the old style analog cellular networks. Radio Electronics published a series of articles on how to build a goofy robot (the RE Robot in fact). The mobo/controller sported an 80188. I have the plans and artwork if anyone is interested. Not exactly peecee compatible, being it does utilize at least some of the integral peripheral functions of the 80188 (unlike the Tandy 2000 which seemingly used very little or none. Every major chip found on a 5150 mobo (IBM PC) is found on it's mobo). ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
