(...) (URL) - I'm notoriously bad at keeping it up-to-date. I've got 2 snaps of the 1st edition bridge - chain-link, single-track, very thin deck. Send me mail & pester me to take some more shots of it tomorrow when I'm at work :) I'll post them at (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yup, but I cheat a bit. The track is in four zones: 2 on the bridge (each of two parallel tracks), and one more for each turnabout. The bridge zones are trivial - each is only 7 track segments long. I'm away from my track designer, so I can't (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

I haven't used CyberMaster myself, but I know someone was able to get it working with a Mac. CyberMaster expects DTR to be asserted and RTS to be cleared. I'm not sure if "asserted" means +9 or -9. I know data lines (TXD, RXD) are inverted, but I (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
