|
|
Since I have a bunch of stuff that plugs into a serial port on my Mac, I purchased the KeySpan expansion card that adds four more ports.

(...) Many of the changes were to make NQC similar to RCX Code (at least for the commands that RCX Code supports), and I believe RCX Code has a loose connection to the Lego Logo work. Dave (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
