Whoa... so you mean, I can just like, take apart a 9V lead, solder
them to those pins, and have 2 extra sensor inputs? or is there extra
'lectronics involved?

Nobody tried so far. The above is merely speculation - that's why I said
"candidates". Should the pins turn out to be unused, legOS will support 6
A/D channels with minor changes.

The pins are 99% definitely unused.

To whoever tries this, good luck with that soldering iron.

I should clarify this before anyone breaks their RCX.

The pins are 99% definitely unused.  By the ROM driver.  They might,
however, be tied to Vss or Vdd, so make sure you don't short anything out
if do attempt to solder something to the extra two A/D pins.
