your right. It is something mainly geared to the rcx gear heads. I'm sure Calum

wait.... please explain. are you saying i will need to D/L the BrickOS
firmware??
OK. so far so good. I did that ages ago.
but then you say this:
"...The ability to rebuild the BrickOS kernal"

BOS-V1.0.frm (or whatever)
in which case, im wondering if you could just make that available with the
proper credits (and permissions) of course.

DEAL. if you do that, then i will, at your discretion, revoke, or re-apply your

There are two places you could have downloaded the BrickOS stuff from. 1) The NQC site, which has everything (like the kernal) pre-built. 2) The BrickOS site, where YOU need to build everything. If you did #1, it may be hard for you to rebuild (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
