Hi,
     Does anyone use legOS?  I read that there are possible risks to
getting other ROM images.  What are the risks?

The only snags with legOS at the moment (that I'm aware of) are:

a) You have to pull a battery out to clear the RAM

b) It seems to have a problem with corrupting itself somewhere that I
can't work out, and so far nor has Markus. It only shows in some
programs (typically only mine, in fact), which is doubly irritating!

If we can work out b) its gonna be great, though.


     I am using a GNU/Linux machine.  Is there anything else involved in
using legOS other than getting GNU binutils, building a gcc cross compiler
for h8300-hitachi-hms, compiling legOS, and downloading it to the RCX?
     legOS is available at http://mauve.inrialpes.fr/ .

Don't forget to get the gcc cross compiler patches, without which you
will be very frustrated!

Cheers,

Ben.
