SlashDot yesterday had a story on someone putting an IP stack into the RCX. I expected to read about it here, but don't see anything. Does anyone have the story? --Jack Gregory (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The lego camera will not work with imovie, I'm afraid. Imovie only works with DVcameras, not with webcams. I think the lego camera is actually one of the logitech cameras inside, so there may be a MacOS 9 driver, but not a MacOS X driver. I don't (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I wish to make the small mod to allow for external power to the motor outputs of the main board. However, this seems to cause several potential problems with the expansion board. First, the motor power connector is occupied by the motor power (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
