So, I'm wondering about the NXT's ability to command the RCX. How possible is
the following: I know that I can hook up motors to my RCX sensor ports and vice
versa. They might not work doing anything really practical but they can be
hooked up. If I hook up an rcx motor to a sensor port on the rcx, and tell the
sensor port that it is really some kind of sensor, and then spin the motor, I
think I remember the rcx being about to tell that there is something at the end
of the line generating some current. Yeah, my details are fuzzy but I'm sure
someone has done this too.
So, why not tell the nxt to use an 'old rcx motor' block (or whatever it is
called) and use that to send information down one of the nxt wires, into a
conversion wire, into a port on the rcx. Then the nxt could tell the rcx what
to do.
Yeah, I haven't tried it, but I'm sure there is some combination of output from
the nxt that could be interpretted by an rcx.
Now, I have no idea why anyone would want to do that, but that's not my job
here.
In keeping with what is becoming common practice,

street, and into the ocean. It's foolproof!" Donahue
