No, it sounds like a 256 byte scratch pad/heap/whatever.

But do we have to reverse engineer these things?  I would have thought TLC
would have seen the light and would make our life easier this time around.

*** How much memory is in the brick? (compared to RCX) ***

Two thirds the memory (4k compared to 6k for program download "with our
standard firmware"). And it's persistent: because it's stored in EEPROM, • you
can remove the batteries and come back years later to find your program • is
still there in good shape.

According to an e-mail I received from Michael Anderson regarding the
Spybotic brick there is

"4k EEPROM for persistent program storage (256 bytes available for general • use)"

To me this sounded like only 256 bytes were available for downloaded
programs (i.e., general use rather than firmware use).  I hope I'm wrong.
