Actually, there's a ton of space left in the ROM, I wonder if they ADDED
anything useful, like a real OS kernel :-)

I suspect they had to leave it alone, sadly. They have to maintain both
forward and backward compatibility, otherwise new/old PC software won't
work with old/new RCX firmware. Compatibility issues would drive their
technical support nuts!

| Yes, they left it alone... The 1.5 RCX ROM has the same version number as the 1.0 RCX ROM. The firmware file shipped on the 1.5 CD is identical to the 1.0 firmware. Dave Baum (...) (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
