The Ferarri book yalks about some ways to add input or output ports. The
option that looks most promising to me is detailed at
http://www.akasa.bc.ca/tfm/lego_ms2.html
From that site:
"I'm very Pleased to announce that my latest project the '(MS)2 Expander' will
expand your RCX's ports with very little additional programming. Some of the
possibilities are as follows;
1. 6 Full featured output ports!
(3 banks of 2 output ports with 2 usable at any one time with full
"Brake"/"Float" & Direction abilities)
2. 3 + 1 Full featured output ports & 3 + 2 Full featured input ports!
(3 banks of 1 output port + 1 RCX direct port & 3 banks of 1 input port + 2
RCX direct ports)
3. 6 + 1 Full featured input ports! (At the loss of 1 output port)
(3 banks of 2 input ports with 2 usable at any one time + 1 RCX direct input
port)"
