  Re: Connect Four game issues
 
(...) IR was, but there were a few issues: a) Fluorescents causing trouble at Lillian. b) Firmware/language differences. c) Reliability of IR d) Complexity of setting up tolerant protocol between two RCXes for IR. e) You'll need some sort of tunnel (...)

(...) Ahh, yes, the glorious art of handshaking. I want to point out that it'd be pretty easy to zap someone you didn't like by sending them some voltage with a hard-wired output-to-input method. :) But I like that one the most, I think. It forces (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Sad isn't it. (...) I don't think there is a fuse on a linecard, DMS-100 that is. I'll have to dig up the commemorative 100,000th linecard (cast in stylish lucite) paperweight and confirm.
