Hey, Thanks for all the helpful responses, everyone. Brian: (...) I guess that "firmware" must be the code that tells RCX how to interpret user instructions (NQC, C, IC, opcodes, or whatever), and convert them to binary machine-specific code. Right? (...)

(...) I *think* that "knobs" may be more common in the U.K. but I could be very wrong. It would be interesting to hear from someone who uses the term (if anyone) and know where they are. I know at least one reference to it, and it was one made by (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

I'd like to nominate trains for the tidiest and up-to-date-ist sidebar on Lugner. Thanks Tim for doing such a good job. It's the only group I come to directly (as opposed to from the recent activity page) as I know the sidebar is so useful. Thanks! (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

What exactly is the advantage of a Torsen differential design? Does it eliminate slip, or is it just a more solid design? (URL) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)
