I've wondered about this for over a year now, but haven't brought it up because of not making it to the BF events. Now I can't stand it anymore and must ask. Have RCX owners considered pooling their units to run an event-long simulation? Each of us (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

It's not a true realtime interrupt. Some events may be recognized immediately (e.g. a new "mailbox" message, and some may be recognized on a 100 millisecond background scan (e.g. a "click" event). The event monitoring code does not put the task into (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
