That is very cool, but a little scary. The dawn of an RCX virus. If
you could then write it so it was also compatible with the other
P-Bricks (like the spybotix) that would furtahr enhance it. Very, very
nice.

Question - if a "victim" RCX is already running the firmware, would it
just be wiped and overwritten? Could you add some kind of "ID" packet
to say "I am already running the firmware"?
