(...) Correct, the Remote requires Firmware in the RCX. (...) No. It needs the Firmware to set up the IR port to receive the commands. The Built-in programs will run without firmware with the RUN Button. (...) The SCOUT always has it's firmware. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

You mean the 9-pin cable for the IR tower, right. Yes, you can use a much longer cable. Get one with one female (holes) and one male (pins) connector, and you should be OK. You have to use it on the computer end, because the tower only accepts a (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Will the Remote Control directly control the RCX output ports A - C without downloading firmware? Will it run the RCX built-in programs without downloading firmware? The output ports and built-in programs of the Scout from set 9735 Robotics (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
