What about upgrade the CPU to 60kbyte PROM version? No need to use expanded

Anyone thought about building a RCX replacement ( besides JCX ) that would
fit into the existing RCX package? Something with flash?

Would lejos welcome this? Or would it be too much effort to port to another
CPU?

Any kind of an open source hardware project like this available?

take a look at Robobricks
   http://www.gramlich.net/projects/robobricks/

I'm also playing around with such an idea, but smaller (most devices
should fit in a 2*4 brick) and faster (115 kBaud bus). My first notes
can be seen here

Thanks,
