I used nqc to download pbforth.srec. (The LCD displays "4th".) There is no response from the "brick" using either HyperTerm or CRT4.1. I'm using RCX1.0. Am I missing something? Thanks, Jordon (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi everyone, my first posting. First off, heartfelt thanks to Ralph for pbForth. Having recently (Jan 2004) got hold of Mindstorms 2.0 I thought I would lay out the way I found to get up and running with pbForth. It took me a week or two to figure (...)

I have a tentative solution to this problem. I've written a DLL that will also allow me to change some interesting stuff like baud rate and imeouts on the tower. This may allow us to finally get full control of the RCX USB tower! Hopefully I can (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
