(...) (URL) Is a note I posted a while back on pbForth speed. It really is very fast - not as quick as legOS, but fast enough for what we're doing. In fact, NQC and native firmware is fast enough - we just don't have enough variables.... As a point (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This is correct. (...) Hehe :) Yes, this is correct. LegOS is also faster for some other reasons- it samples the sensors at a much faster rate than the standard firmware, so legOS programs can react much more quickly than standard bytecode (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks very much, everyone, for the detailed answers. I suspect that, due to the huge performance gain I seem to get using NQC (in one observable area: touch sensor response time using two touch sensors on two separate ports), that the RCX Code (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello listers, Once again Lego has made a product that is without Mac support. I have tried all the Logitec drivers, but the camera must be a model without mac support. Have any of You found a solution for getting it to work ? Regards Mikkel --- (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) At the RCX level, there is no difference. Both use the standard Lego firmware to execute programs specified using a byte code. The byte code is something like an instruction set, except that it's interpreted and it has operations that are (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I got Extreme Creatures about a month ago when it was last on special at S@H for $25. I guess for the Fibre Optic unit and the collection of parts, it's not a bad price. As far as I can tell, it's the only way you can get the FOS main unit from (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
