Hi all!

	I am a computer science student at the university of Moncton, in 
New Brunswick, Canada, and I need help.  Has anyone here ever heard of the 
Heath company's HERO-1 robot?  I own one, and recently brought it back to 
life, because it's to be used in a grand-oppening ceremony of a space-
shuttle simulator in December.  

	Here's the problem.  I read an article about an add-on board for 
this robot, called the MemCom board, which provides a two-way rs232 
interface to a PC, and adds 30k of memory to it.  I would love to get my 
hands on this, but this article is 10 years old, and the company 
(Micromations Inc.) has since then gone out of business or changed name.  
The Heath company doesn't know how to help, and I'm running out of ideas.  
Can anyone help me get ahold of this card, or maybe you have a couple of 
ideas as to where I could check?  Many thanks in advance.
