Many sources claims that it has

Does this mean the RCX has 22k of RAM memory? What an odd number...

Also, when I perform MemMap, the final number is
26 000 (or so).  The end of the firmware is located
at 20 000 (or so).  This is where I don't understand.

Is the firmware 16k or 20k? I know it has to be 16384 bytes
long, so why Memmap returns 20 000?

If someone can explain how to read these numbers out of the
Memmap commands, please tell me.

If I remember correctly the RCX has a 16kROM for the basic routines. It has 32k
RAM for firmware and programs.

The scout has 32K ROM and only 1K RAM (400bytes for your program)
