Is there a good FAQ anywhere that talks about the exact capabilities
of the RCX (voltage/current specs of the inputs and outputs, CPU type,
speed and memory) including its software characteristings?
Also, I've seen a thread over in r.t.l where someone says the RCX has
no variables. And I've seen someone here say that he was using NQC (I
know that that is) and so only had a limited variable space.
So I'm now curious about what computational limits in the RCS exist
because of its hardware, what computational limits exist because of
LEGO-supplied firmware, and what computation limits exist because of
progamming environments (specifically, say, NQC and the RIS PC-based
software that comes with Mindstorms).
If there are pointers to this information on the net, that would be
great, too.

| (...) No real FAQ, at least not at that detail. What you probably want to look at is (URL) which is the best "in one place" compendium of info on the web. (...) The native lego firmware has only 32 variables. This same firmware is used by NQC, so it (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
