One other interesting thing about this idea-- If it works, not only will

| This whole thread just caused an interesting thought to pop into my head, although I suspect it would only apply to cases where LegOS were being used. If the mouse serial port output (transmit line) were to be connected to a LMC555 (running at (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
