(...) Let me give you my reasons: right now, legOS is difficult to set up and get running (at least 0.2.2 from W98), while I experience Forth a little "strange" yet (= a totaly different metaphor, it takes time to adjust to it). Adding to that, it (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

What is going on? I am trying to get the legOS firmware downloaded to my RCX using the firmdl3 command, but I get erratic and varying responses from "bad ir link" to "firmdl3: delete firmware failed". Every time is different, but none of them work. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
