I think you'll be happy with simply upgrading to 1.03. You may be ultra-conservative in wanting to back up 1.01. I don't have a copy of 1.01 but here's what you can do to create your own image. It will require some effort on your part. Go to (...) (19 years ago, 15-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

On the RCX there was an Ada implementation, which worked by translating Ada to NQC. Does anyone know if there are any plans to make Ada available on NXT, perhaps in a similar manner? Thanks Andrew (19 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)
