Another option is to get a USB serial port adapter.  Although they probably cost as
much as a USB tower.

realize the stupid thing has *no* serial port!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!

How can these manufacturers not include a serial port!! Shame!!

So anyone have a USB tower they wanna sell me?

LEGO Systems wants 38 dollars US to send me a 'replacement' tower, and I
hafta get a money order together (S@H takes Visa, Replacement is COD--waht's
with that?)

Anyway, programming/testing is stopped on Runamok 'bot until this gets
worked out.

p.s. this happened halfway thru West Wing last night--this show just
continues to get better.  It's *almost* replacing Sports Night as my
favourite show of all time.

Sports Night
West Wing
B5
MASH

In that particular order ;)
