The 2.0 firmware is available separately from LEGO as part of the 2.0 SDK. You can use this firmware with a 1.5 set (or even a 1.0 set). If you are not planning on using the Lego software then the only difference between 2.0 and 1.5 is that 2.0 has (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I've thought about this before but never did anything 8?( I think I'd prefer a macro, thus removing the need for #ifdef. Although you wouldn't want the #ifdef anyway, as you need to call it in the kernel, and #ifdefing it out would be rather (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have noticed several places in the kernel where nb_tasks is used to see if a program is running.

I am going to buy the RIS 2.0, but I am not quite sure if I should better buy the RIS 1.5. That is, because my notebook (366 Mhz PII, 64 MB RAM, but only 2.5 MB Video RAM) does not fully meet the minimum requirements as stated by LEGO (what is (...)
