The set 8450 Mission (Cybermaster expansion) is a model off a airplane. The expansion is only the software. An advanture game with an Bomb-layer vehicle and some software for the airplane. No new sensors or systematic program language. Kind of (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The CyberMaster was never intended to be programmed by the user like Mindstorms. It's *very* unfortunate to see LEGO invest so much effort and money in a radio-controlled LEGO computer with so much to offer and don't take *any* steps to make (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) If the CPU in the Cybermaster is the same as the RCX (minus the extra RAM) or the Scout, and the radio link is alive all the time (not like the narcoleptic tower), I'll bet that I could hack an "umbilical" Forth system, where the bulk of the (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, but so is the ROM in the RCX. The trick was to figure out the upload sequence (via the serial link) and then Kekoa figured out the format of the packet. I'll have to look at the Cybermaster serial code in NQC, but if there is an ability (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No, the OPCODES are interpreted by the firmware, not the ROM code. The only thing hat was decoded (AFAIK) was the MindStorms firmware. And it was only decoded because incidentally it was in a separate file in the MindStorms CD, perfectly (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) OK, i guess we need to get terminology straight. The ROM is the masked code in the RCX/Scout/Cybermaster. It was "looked at" because I'm pretty sure Kekoa wrote a little dump routine and loaded it into the RCX like replacement firmware - in (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
