"The VIC-20 Connection" or (VIC Connection?) is a very good book
for this sort of thing. The book goes into detail (software and hardware)
on a couple "how to" projects. It even shows how you can turn your vic
into a computerized burglar alarm system.
Sorry but I can't remember the author or publisher. I found a copy
in the public library and have seen it in finer book stores and computer
oriented stores.
