| More I/O ports would be handy. But a little ingenuity can expand on what is already provided. What cannot be expanded is the memory capacity of the RCX, or its processong flexibility. The idea of simply using the RCX as an interface between the I/O (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Ok, I just have to jump in here. This thread is a really good idea, and I hope that TLG monitors it...but I get the feeling that I'm hearing folks bemoan why they can't build something because of shortcomings in the RCX, and that's like not building (...)

| (...) An ideal solution would be an RCX that included the Harris PRISM chip-set. These chips allow you to get various data speeds between 1Mbps and 11Mbps depending on options chosen. Typical range is 100-300 ft indoors and 1000-3000+ feet outdoors (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
