loads the firmware into the RAM to load a dumper so that the ROM
could be reverse disassembled.

The firmware on the CD is loaded into the RCX using the same protocol, but
since it was in a nice Srecord format, disassembling it probably wasn't
too hard. Commenting it - that's a different story altogether.

Now, given that the opcodes are similar between the Cybermaster and the
RCX, I wonder if a little "dumper" could be loaded into the Cybermaster...

Hi Ralph and Laurentino,
forgive my jumping in, just to test my knolwedge of Cybermaster through last
months Laurentino's lessons :-) From what I understand about Cybermaster,
there's simply no way to download anything to Cybermaster, a part from the
byte code to be interpreted by the interpreter itself.
