Are you attempting the NQC 'port' to the agenda? Please make sure you let us all
know how it's going.
Here's the four main things I think we all want:
1. Use it as a Remote (1 -255, motors etc)
2. Download Firmware to RCX
3. Download programs Via NQC (and others)
4. Be able to monitor the IR port for message codes and sensor variables.
