Now that I have a 2.0 kit and have had some time to realize that
the new USB tower uses a proprietary protocol I can see that
rescuing all the code I’ve been writing in Visual Basic will be
tougher than just redirecting the IO to a USB masquerading as a
serial COM port.  I need to be able to talk to the USB device
drivers for that new tower.  There must be others working on that
(…or better yet having already worked it out…?..) .

I’ll appreciate any insights or links with folks interested in
making that transition work.

Thanks,
Dave Hallowell

Why not just keep using your old serial tower? -a "Dave Hallowell" <lego-robotics@crynwr.com> wrote in message news:NEBBLJAEMKLDMPB...ems.com... (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics)
