you'll probably hate me for being a nitpicker.... (...) technically, you should not do any bitshifting at all. There is always the odd case when someone decides to be clever and have a hostmask with interleaved zeros. for example, a hostmask of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

You are correct in stating that I shouldn't have restricted you to 16 nodes X 16 ports. I did however, want to normalize the host address in the visible API and user interfaces to be a small 0..N number instead of a random hex byte value, properly (...)

Hello All! If I have installed LegOS on the RCX (I have not done this yet!) and I want to go back to the orignal lego firmware, is it still possible to use the firmware download option in the orignal Minstorm Software? or I'll have to use firmdl3 (I (...)

At first, it seems logical that firmdl3 would be the best place to make the change. However, it was very easy to allow the Host ID to be changed at runtime. Whether changed by a user program or changed via the RCX buttons/lcd, it is easy enough to (...) (22 years ago, 24-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
