    IR header how optional —Pat LaVarre
   (...) Yep. But via our solid new reply framing code, thanks again, now I can see ... (...) Nope. At least not here: now that I look, I see my RCX often doesn't require the PC to send x 55:FF:00. IR command packets like x 10:FE 10:FE PBAliveOrNot and (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: IR header how optional —Henrik Erlandsson
     (...) I doubt anything (short of a 2MV Lightning Flash) will warm anything in 1 msec. ;) Also, the receiver won't warm up until the header has been read in completion and decoded. So I doubt it's used for that. Normally, in any communication, you'd (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
    
         Re: IR header - A Detailed Explanation —Dick Swan
      Several posts have speculated about the use and necessity of the "header" bytes used by standard RCX messaging. Hopefully this post provides definitive information on the topic. The ROM firmware uses a 30 milli-second inter-character timer. If if is (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Like you, if I try x 10:FE 10:FE, I see it echoed but then I see no further reply. And yes x 10:FE 10:FE (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
