A few months ago, I sucessfully ported full NQC functionality to
my Windows CE H/PC - an HP 660LX running CE 2.11 Pro. There are of course a
couple of gotchas: No support for the IR port and you will need a command
shell applet (CMD.EXE on my H/PC). I am using the standard Lego IR tower
connected to the H/PC via the serial port with a male-male (null modem)
adapter. I haven't entirely given up on trying to get the IR port to work,
but without writting a custom driver, I don't think this is possible.

I've got a utility for my P/PC called CERemote that controls my
entertainment center via the IRDA port. This software was written by Hiromu
Okada (okada.hiromu@nifty.ne.jp). There is a website at
http://www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA005810/. Perhaps this gentleman could help
you to eliminate the LEGO IR tower from the setup. I would love for my
Cassiopeia E-105 to interoperate with my RCXs!

Regards,
Issac.

Looks like Hiromu Okada has some interesting software! Do you (or anybody else) allready have experience using the IrDA port of a standard portable PC for downloading software to the RCX yet? Filip Issac Merkle <lego-robotics@crynwr.com> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
