| (...) Yes, I tested it and it worked on my Win98! Great work!! Thanks! (...) Do you mean that the kernel can be rebuild on Windows? Which parts/utilities cannot be rebuilt? best regards, Vlad (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| Hi You go to all the hassle of making LegOS available for us Windows users and still we have questions. I'm really struggling and can not find anything in the docs or Lugnet to help (that I understand) and so I would really apreciate some help. I (...)

| A general note, there is a README.WRI file. This includes information beyond what Markus originally wrote in README. Perhaps I should have deleted his README (I include it in README.WRI, anyway).

| Hi Rossz (...) Yes, I downloaded the legOS.srec on top of the existing Lego firmware and some programs. When you download the legOS firmware will anything currently in RAM be deleted? I'll try taking the batteries out for a while and starting again. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
