Computerizing a Super Polaris???

I have an older Vixen/Celestron Super Polaris mount which I have had for years. It only has a single drive which for my purposes of doing visual with my TV 85 works just fine. I noticed that Orion sells a complete goto set up for their Skyview Pro mount, which I know is a chinese clone of the SP. I went to Orion's web site and checked it out, just looking it over it seems that it might, maybe, perhaps, be adaptable to my Super Polaris. I am only thinking about it at this point, but I was wondering if anyone out there on Astromart has already done this or knows of someone that has. Any thoughts or advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys for your input.
