And finally.... Can legOS be set up in "simulation mode" ie running on a PC as
if it was on the RCX? This would make doing the networking code a lot easier as
all the stuff above the hardware layer could be designed and tested separately.

Hmm.. with a little hacking you could certainly detect logic errors. The
main problem I think would be writing alternative C-Functions for the H8
assembler, which makes up legOS itself.
You'd also need to create a simulator engine for legOS to run on top of,
the engine would be used for timing, and IR comms. Add a nice little GUI
to the top - allowing activation of sensors and showing which outputs
etc are active, and it could be quite powerful..
