On second thought, that doesn't look all that bad actually. Provided there is a
way to eventually control more than one train and set up several IR interfaces
(for positions where the optical link would otherwise fail) with a single RCX,
the solution might even become affordable, not to say elegant.
I guess I'll take the time to dig into this - not that I had the spare budget
right now, but who knows... (with three working RCXes at home, I'd like a
solution that utilizes those, though)
Thanks,
Jerry
