(...) That is great, but can it program my VCR? :-) Does this mean that the RCX 2.0 has a greater IR range than the RCX 1.x due to hardware differences? Does the new IR RC Car use the same protocol as the Bionicle Manas as well? Jude (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I was thinking the last couple days about the Sante Fe super chief, and whether or not there will be an "upgrade" kit to make the engine into a "B" unit. (I wasn't thinking about this until I had time to seriously mull the "Train Catalog" and to (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) You will have to excuse me in this info gathering process... robotics aren't really my strong point, and I am simply relaying info from those who know what they are talking about. I got a few bits of info back: EEPROM: There is a total of 4k (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) [...] (...) If a SB unit can send/receive VLL on top of having "RCX/Scout compatible" IR comms, is this scenario possible: A CyberMaster (using a VLL output pgrm) sends a VLL message to the SB unit that will send some other IR message to the (...)

Now that I think about it, I didn't really like the reasoning behind making a serial product instead of usb. It actually sounds like an excuse to me... Not quite quoted words were, "this product is designed more for children who have hand-me-down (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

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. --Jack Gregory "John Hansen" (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

While I doubt you'd legally be able to answer this, I'm going to ask anyways, just in case you CAN... How hard would it be to replace the EEPROM with one with a larger memory capacity? ;-) (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Sun ONE Internet Technical Support, (...)
