Dear John, Thank you very much for the further improvement of Brixcc! I could install the package including brickOS on a Win 98 system as well as download the related firmware, but could not compile any of the demos!? Besides that: You said: "Of (...)

While this might not be a "need" per se, I'd like to see another option for communication between RCX's than just infrared. Specifically, a port to be used specifically for this purpose, and a communication API. As far as I/O, some kind of bus (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
