(...) 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)

Todd, have you ever calculated how many people read LUGNET articles vs. how many post articles? I.e. how many are lurking? The rule of thumb that I've seen for most major mailing lists and newsgroups is that 5-10% of the members actually post. I'd (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.people)

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)

You may want to crib from the GMLTC car shop. That building has actual roof trusses. They aren't load bearing in that building, but they could be. Most of the building is my work, but Conan came up with the truss idea and it's a doozy. It's not as (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
