Wow, some test! I'm x-posting this to the robotics group just in case.

Hi,
I'm using Robotics Invention System 1.5, a serial tower and a RCX 1.0 and a
windows 98 PC.
The RCX lost its firmware due to missing batteries for a long period of
time. I kept getting error messages during firmware download
"Initial page: 1000, 8120: IR Transmitter not working"
after putting in brand new batteries in both the RCX and the serial tower.
I followed the trouble shooting guide using hyper terminal to test the COM
port connection to the tower. The communication from the COM port to the
tower is good. But the "IR Transmitter Working" fails every time I tried to
download. It can't find the RCX. Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks,
Wendy
P.S.
The Shooter.log file looks like the following:
*******************
