D'oh!!! But then again it's now up to $15.50 with 9 days to go... and mine is
MISB, so blah... :-)
BTW, searching for 8479s sold on eBay indicates that $150 - $155 is about the
going rate these days. We know eBay isn't the cheapest.

I thought about that too. If you use if with after some gear reduction
instead of attaching directly to the motor axle it may work. I'm trying to
use that to use the RCX to control steering in the #8445 (Indy car) set.
My concern is that I'm not sure if it was really designed to be used this
way. I'm afraid that it may damage the rubber ring. But I couldn't figure
any other use to that ring also. In fact, I didn't notice that ring until I
read the comment in the book. :)

Hey guys - I'm new here. However, I have a list of most of the Lego Technic
sets released in the US since 1996, including Number, Name, Year, Number of
Pieces, Cost (Approximate), and Notes. Please let me know if you find this
useful:
http://home.tampabay.rr.com/markjen/Lego/TechnicList.html
It contains some updates to information in the Pause database, so I'm hoping
this finds its way to the person that administers that, just in case he/she is
interested in the info...
Tx, Mark

Hi.
This is a shot in the dark, but...
I was reading throught the website, and came across:
Interface B #9751
The Interface B has 4 passive inputs (for touch and temperature
sensors), 4 active inputs (for light and angle sensors) and 8
ouputs, plus a constant 9V "test" output. It interfaces to a
PC (it may be a simple RS232 serial connection, in which case
it would interface to any computer?)
This got me thinking (probably my first mistake :^)
If the the box is really an RS232 device, does
anyone out there have a guss on wether or not you
could hook it up to a IR tower, and have the RCX
tell it to do things??
If so it would be a great way to get more inputs and
outputs.
-Kyle
