OK, so it's not the holy grail (apple lisa) , but it's close. Picked up a
complete Hero1 with speech synth and arm in his own custom carrying box. it
came complete with charger, cables, all schematics and manuals and some dos
based compiler programs to write apps that can be downloaded to the robot via
serial link. Also got a data book on all motorola chips and some robotics
study courses as well as lots of handwritten notes by the original owner.
Unfortunately, he doesnt work right. I think his motor drive may have to be
rebuilt and although he did say "okay" once, his digital display is scrambled
and he wont initialise. Gel cell batteries will have to be replaced since
he's been sitting for at least 5 years. Will be a fun project and will get
plenty of space on the upcoming computer museum website.
