I was jut wondering, has anybody tried to implement a "better RCX-code"? It must be possible to write something very similar to RCX-code in LegOS, only faster and implementing the "missing" array structures and more variables. Mayby compatible with (...)

Check the permissions on /dev/ttyS1. I think the default is for it to be locked down to superuser only. If this is the case, then running nqc from a normal user account would cause the error you got.
