Hello listers, Once again Lego has made a product that is without Mac support. I have tried all the Logitec drivers, but the camera must be a model without mac support. Have any of You found a solution for getting it to work ? Regards Mikkel --- (25 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I got Extreme Creatures about a month ago when it was last on special at S@H for $25. I guess for the Fibre Optic unit and the collection of parts, it's not a bad price. As far as I can tell, it's the only way you can get the FOS main unit from (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Hmm. This question seems to have gone the way of my PC-->IR Tower cable question. Let me try to get at the point that most interests me--what is the difference, at the RCX level, between programs coded in NQC and programs coded in RCX Code. Is the (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
