I don't know if this has already been discovered a dozen times before (I would search to find out, but the text search cgi is down!)... but I just found something cool.

| | Floating-point bug fix

|
This morning, Kieran Elby sent me a report of a "0 - x" bug with subtraction in the floating point routines, which I fixed.

Following a discussion on lugnet.robotics on firmware versions and firmware checksumming, I realized firmdl3 was broken for the latest firmware files (firm0325.lgo and firm0328.lgo). The problem was these files were too big. I have modified firmdl3 (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I would contact LEGO Technical Support.and have them send you the CD. There is no other drag and drop simple way to program the RCX that you can get online for free. The update to 2.0 won't do you any harm or good at this point. (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
