However, after reading your post, and a good deal of the other 56 messages in this group, it appears this is not the case. I already have a LEGO remote, so that (...)

The short answer is it doesn't really matter.....'cause none of the Palm or Handspring units really work directly with the RCX. If there is a Holy Grail to this robotics/Palm group, it would be the successful programming of the Palm IrDA port to (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.palm, lugnet.robotics)

Is there a list of Palms which I can use with my RCX etc? I am thinking of getting used one just to use with my RCX - but I don't want to by the "wrong" one. I'm grateful for any help given... as always. Scott A (25 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.palm, lugnet.robotics)
