My son and I accidently discovered last night that if the Microscout • light

set to "P".

Sure it works :-)
Probably the first post that mention this feature is by Eric Brok  in Nov

http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/scout/?n=3

On Eric's great site you will find many details about Scout to Microscout
interfacing, as well as Scout to Codepilot, Scout to RCX, Remote Control to
Scout, and other undocumented features :
