I'm guessing the user base outside Japan must be tiny. But for what it is
worth, I've purchased two pocket stations on ebay after reading your post
;-) (one of them for my younger brother). I'm mostly looking forward to do
some micro-scout mischief with it.
Thanks a bunch for a heads up that definitely qualifies as an "obscure
bit of potentially very useful information".
Cheers,

I already posted this in lugnet.robotics
Maybe i will get a response here.
I found a web page that deals with programming the rcx, scout and microscout
in a very uncommon way. Go this site:
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~qx5k-iskw/lego/
and under the ¡ SONY Pocket Station ‚Æ‹Y‚ê‚é section, click the last link.
I would recommend running the page through alta vista babel fish though,
since the page is in japenese, so you can find it easy. The link i told you
to click on should take you a page about programming the micro scout with
sony pocket station. the other links on the main page all lead to other
pages about mindstorms and programming.
Any way, if anyone out there owns a pocket station and a micro scout, i
would deffinatly check this site out. I have downloaded the program to my
pocketstation and tested it. Everything works and is pretty easy to use.
You will need a zip program that can handle .lzh files to unzip the
downloads containing the pocketstation programs. You will also need a
program called psx game edit to turn the unziped .mcx files into .gme
files(dexdrive files). Psx game edit can be downloaded for free here:
http://www.moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/
After getting the .mcx files turned into .gme files, you can dump them to a
memory card, and then use your playstation's memory card manager to copy
them over to your pocket station. Even if you do not own a pocket station,
there is still some useful non-pocketstation stuff to be had on this page.
Enjoy.

Hi. I found a simalar program that allows you to program the MicroSCOUT with
SONYs PocketStation. refer to my post "Good news for microscout, scout, and
rcx, and sony pocket station owners." for more info.

A new newsgroup/list lugnet.robotics.spybotics has been created for the focused
discussion of LEGO SPYBOTICS issues (with a big emphasis on replacement
firmware and/or software).
Feel free to crosspost between .robotics and .robotics.spybotics, as
appropriate, or just to .robotics if you feel your topic is of a more general
nature.
CHARTER/PURPOSE
===============
lugnet.robotics
Building, creating, and developing with added technologies: the LEGO
MINDSTORMS™ RIS, other programmable bricks, vision systems, bar-code
readers, radio controlled units, research sites, microcode / embedded
programming, etc.
-> lugnet.robotics.spybotics
Alternative firmware or software for LEGO Spybotics™ programmable
bricks: in-depth technical discussions, collaboration, planning,
architecture, analysis, etc.
BTW, there was talk a while back about moving the .nqc group up out of the
.rcx hierarchy since it's no longer RCX-specific. Spybotics is yet another
LEGO product with NQC support, and so it might be about time to do that.
