[Coco] (OT) Rhino XR Arm

All,

This is off-topic, but I thought I would post and find out what if 
anything anybody knew...

I recently acquired a Rhino Robotics XR-1 (or maybe XR-2) robot arm and 
controller (and the teach pendent is on the way).

It is missing the bottom base large cog and cog-belt, but is otherwise 
complete.

I am wondering if anyone else here happened to own or owns one, etc. 
I've found a variety of site and documents (some stuff on wikipedia, 
plus theoldrobots site) - but I haven't been able to locate any scans of 
real documentation, and certainly no software (I'm not even sure whether 
this arm originally came with software - if it did, it was likely 
something for an Apple IIe or PC-XT or something).

My main concern right now is the size and type of the cog and belt; once 
that is replaced, the rest may or may not be as important (from what I 
know, the controller may be ok, but the teach-pendent may be dead; I 
guess I'll know when I get it).
