This is a brilliant idea, I had wondered about the practicality of something
like this myself, but it has to be done by lego to satisfy us purists.

You could have a whole range of lego "bricks" that plug together to form the
RCX, batteries, input devices, output devices, processors, a totally
modular computer.... how about a hard drive brick? expanded memory bricks? a
SCSI brick? USB? weeeeheeeee look the nice men in the white coats are here
to take me for a picnic!

| (...) As a first step, how about simple 2 *4 s with logic gates in them? one of the connectors below for power, one output below, and two inputs on top :) Jasper (26 years ago, 18-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
