Dick Swan's replacement RCX firmware also does not support directly manipulating
the IR led and it doesn't support microsecond timing control. Both of these
features would be required in order to send the IR messages to a Power Function
or R/C train receiver. The only way RCX firmwares that are VM-based could
support emitting PF IR streams is if some setting in the UART area of the
firmware could be tweaked to emit bytes in a PF-compatible mode. To the best of
my knowledge this is not possible in either the standard RCX firmware or in
Dick's RCX-compatible firmware. John Barnes or Michael Barrett Anderson
(amongst others) would probably know for certain.
