No, the H8 has got the 64k limit. I'm using intel 80C188XL. Its a
CMOS CPU, only about 15mA, and it runs the x86 order code so
all the software algorithms can be checked out on a PC first.

I have included a 38kHz RCX compatible IR link, but I've put a
418MHz UHF radio link in it too which is faster 38.4kb/s and
doesn't have the line of sight limitation.

What microprocessor will you be using? Hitachi H8 like on the Handyboards.

In the RCX, there is a decidedly small amount of ram. This limits what • you
can
do with the RCX. Is there any way to add extra ram to the board? If we • could
get 2mb, then that would be great!!

I'm just thinking out loud..
