Can RCX 2.0 communicate with RCX
1.0 in pbForth (using IR ports)?

but I wonder if it is possible.

Of course wou can talk through the IR ports
to other RCX's.

out the IR port. In fact, I was working on a
pbForth extension that looks at the IR protocol
from the remote and decodes it.

Maybe it's time for another tutorial...
