I am using motor port 0 to control a lego motor (gearmotor #5225) The problem I
am having is that I cannot seem to change the motor speed using motor(0, speed)
where speed is between -100 & 100. The motor turns on at 15 (or -15), but sstays
at the same speed throughout the reamiaing power levels.

I have tried this with a motor out of a CD-ROM drive (eject motor - sanyo) and
it works fine. Is there omething special anbout the lego motor I need to be
aware of?
