  RE: The Datalog
 
(...) I'm not sure about that, but they certainly have disclaimers on the firmware itself, which prevents us from reverse engineering it. Now, the original intent was probably to prevent a competitor from designing a system which was compatible with (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: The Datalog
 
I have noticed a number of comments about the RCX byte code system, including this thread, which would like to see some sort of datalog read function. My question is; Does Lego have a copyright on the byte code interpretation? If not, then wouldn't (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: The Datalog
 
(...) If we could duplicate the firmware's functions for "the standard" and create a "super set" on top of it for other functions we could really make the RCX a powerful beast. Picture this... Firmware with options when installing it. Do you want (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: The Datalog
 
(...) Unfortunately, unless you completely re-engineer the standard firmware you probably won't get the power you need. The jump from LegOS to NQC is relatively painless once you get a working LegOS compiler up and running. I was actually able to (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
