For a new RCX, if they really wanted to prevent us from writing new firmware, the best solution, and one we could not defeat without extraordinary means, would be (...)

| | | | | (...) Well, let me put in my nickle's worth as a grizzled veteran of embedded systems. I'm 37 years old and have hacked the following... 1. A Commodore PET (my first FORTH) at age 20 or so 2. An HP48 calculator. The PPC ROM and synthetic programming (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | Message from TLG! —S. Crawshaw
|
| | | | | | | Did anyone else get the message from TLG about a "learning day" at MIT? I'm just curious as to which group of people they sent it to - people with pages on www.mindstorms.com, or people who registered their RIS, or some other group? After nearly a (...)

Anyway MindFest is organized by the Epistemology and Learning Group and the Okawa Center at the MIT Media Laboratory. If I'm not wrong, the Epistemology (...)

| | | | | | | | This is very exciting. The page of relevant links includes both LUGNET and Russel Nelson's Mindstorms Internals page. (The event is hosted by MIT, not LEGO, so I assume no corporate myopia will limit the scope.) If anyone didn't get the email, (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | (...) I would be surprised, too. If I were doing RIS 1.5, I'd fix a few holes in the firmware (arrays and pointers, a subroutine return addr stack instead of one subroutine call per task, &c) and add some power to RCX Code without compromising its (...)

| | | | (...) [Revisiting and older thread] it's interesting to note what Apple has done recently... If you bought an original G3, then you can use it with a G4 CPU.
