While you are at it you could also make a remark near
the explanation of the f000 motor control register,
and make it clear that this is a hardware function.

When I started to use this extra memory in leJOS I missed
the remark at the very end and assumed that it was some kind
of interrupt that copied this register to some hardware output port,
so I could use the rest of the memory freely.  Not so ...

(...) Thanks for the suggestion... I think the change I made a few days ago included a note here also, but we might be talking about different spots. Let me know if not... kekoa@stanford.edu. -Kekoa (24 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
