I only have the first edition and it goes into detail explaining the requirements for making a universal interface for use with trs 80 1-4, trs coco, apple 2 (2e & 2+ and 2gs), c64 & c128, vic-20, heathkit/trionyx h-8s and of course - pc,xt,at,system2 model 30 and compatibles.
He explains things well.

Transactor Magazine occasionally had articles about this. An archive is here:

I have a great book from the early 80s simply called "Robotics" by Usborne that included plans for a robot that you can control from a VIC20/C64 or or BBC Micro. I *think* this is the same book, but since it's a revised edition they probably "updated" the computer interfacing to PCs.

Also, the staple "Robot Builder's Bonanza", has a very short section on using a C64, and the principles in the book apply to most computers.

Great reply. I have ordered them from Amazon. thanks for your help.
I found some great stuff on the web, by just searching google. It was a couple of years ago, but some of it should still be there.
Try Mapping the Commodore 64 if that's the computer you are using.
