Hi,
I've just installed LegOS 0.2.5 and its working great!  However, I'd like
to temporarily put the original lego firmware back on.  How do I erase the
legOS firmware so that the ROM bootstrap code will permit the Mindstorms
software to download its firmware?  I've tried removing the batteries • (while
the power was still on) but to my surprise the memory wasn't cleared (even
after over 24 hours!).  I've got the RIS 1.5.  Is there some OS function • to
reset the RCX to boot-mode?  I'm amazed that leaving the batteries out • doesn't
clear it.  The RCX doesn't use FLASH RAM does it?

Thanks,
        Rick
