(...) That's great. Because someone on the lugnet.market.shopping posted that the 9748 Set is now available from amazon.com for US$29.99 ($70.00 off!). I have always stayed away from this set, due to the microscout's limitations, but I think at this (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

More 3-motor Technic fun with Mindstorms not using an RCX/RIS, not using a PC and not downloading firmware with the IR tower. Just use the Scout from Robotics Discovery Set and the Micro Scout from Dark Side Developers Kit or Droid Developers Kit. (...)

This looks really neat; I need to try this out soon. I have a Scout, Microscout and remote control, but no RCX, so this system would be ideal. (...)

You can't actually do this the way you describe. You can't pulse the motor outputs as required to drive the FOS with the standard firmware.
