I should add that this was Internet Explorer 5.5. I just discovered that this does not work with Netscape... although maybe there is some setting that you can do to make it happen.

I don't know if this has already been discovered a dozen times before (I would search to find out, but the text search cgi is down!)... but I just found something cool.

Regarding the firmware checksumming, firmdl3 did not do that correctly, nor did it support any of the latest firmware files (0325, 0328), complaining because they were too large. I made the necessary changes to fix these problems. You can grab the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello again, Does anyone know what the checksum is for downloading firm0328.lgo (the checksum to pass to the RCX begin-download call)? I've been doing some experimenting with firmware downloading.
