For those that don't know it yet, http://www.legomindstorms.com/ has a
new section titled "Secrets of the Scout Revealed" at the main page.

To let more people get their hands on the power of the Scout, the LEGO
Group will officially release a Software Developers Kit for the Scout on
November 18, 1999. The SDK will include:
-documentation on the Scout's overall system and programming
capabilities
-a small Windows application for programming the Scout in LEGO assembler
-a library of sample assembler programs that demonstrate key functions
of the Scout
-an alpha version of LEGO's new communications driver called "Ghost"
(which will replace "Spirit.OCX" for products released in the future)

than first appearances, reality is even better than we could have hoped
for. I am very excited about this!
