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 (...)

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 (...)

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)

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)

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)
