I had a similar problem with the RCX. I use the RCX and it works well with
1,2V NiCd batteries as soon as the tower uses a regular 9V battery. If I use
a rechargable 9V battery I have a problem similar to yours.
Try using a regular 9V battery and rechargables at the cybermaster. Maybe
the tower requires a greater amperage than the rechagable can afford.
Usually the tower battery lasts a long time if you use downloaded programs
only so that may not be a big problem. At least that's what happens to the
IR tower.
good luck,
Mauro

| (...) If your using the Tower a lot of the time, (Polling etc.) I'd suggest getting a power adapter for 9 volts and use that instead. Saves on power greatly. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
