that they are not running in parallel? Therefore, if legOS 2.0 is
able to do preemptive tasking. This means that as it switches from task to
task it will save the state of the variables and put them back in the

The RCX has 10 tasks. LegOS you have to build your own.
I have noticed that the 2.0 Firmware is slower then the 1.0 firmware.
