Unfortunately, no ... I'm still looking for a Terrapin Turtle.  Here's
some information I've gathered that may help you get started:

- Get Terrapin Logo with the manual.  Terrapin Logo has built-in
support for the Terrapin Turtle, and the manual describes the relevant
commands.

- The LCSI Logo Toolkit for use with Apple Logo includes support for
the Terrapin Turtle.

- The June 1979 issue of BYTE has schematics for the Turtle.  E-mail
me off list if you need help getting a copy.

I'd enjoy hearing more about the robot, your projects with it, and the
stories behind it.
