I have quite a menagerie of turtles, buggies and robot arms
here, Thomas, but none that match your description of having a
keypad on top. Maybe it was a later type driven via a PC? I've
just started a website called BeebControl, dedicated to
Beeb/RISC OS interfacing and I'll be featuring some shots and
details there when I get some more 'rountoits'. You can reach it
via http://www.anf.nildram.co.uk/ but it isn't much more than a
statement of intent at the moment.
