| | | | | Hi, Has anyone put any thought into getting the RCX to output to an Ethernet interface? Of course, what I'm really interested in is an entire TCP/IP stack- Ethernet hardware, RCX Ethernet driver, IP stack, TCP stack, and a BSD sockets API, but I (...)

One problem: Ethernet needs a far amount of buffer space to keep up with packets and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | This is almost Ok with me! If you allow to mutillate Lego parts, this will be against the 1st statement.
