| I am using the TCL GUI provided by Ralph Hempel on a Windows 2000 machine to program the RCX 2.0 in pbForth. The upload of the firmware appears to be working just fine. I get responses back from the RCX and am able to create new functions without (...) (22 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Once the RCX stops responding, if I pull out a battery and re-upload the firmware, the RCX will respond again to the same GUI session. In other (...)
