Hi Dave,
Thanks for responding. Your efforts have been outstanding!
I'm using a G4 Cube. The tower is connected to a 17" AGP monitor. I've
never used an earlier version of the system.
That's an interesting story. I was having mysterious ethernet problems
that were largely fixed only by moving from 9.1 to 10.1.1. I had to skip
9.2.1 because I could not get the Lego USB IR Tower control panel that came
with Robolab 2.5 to stop halting the boot process. (9.2.1 didn't solve the
ethernet problem either.) That is what led me to try 10, abandon Robolab
(which I had to do anyway) and move to NQC. You might want to be careful
when you get the USB driver code for system 9.
Incidently MacNQC (another great effort. Thanks!) has the same issues as
the command line compiler.
Thanks,
B.

| (...) I assume MacNQC won't work at all because it doesn't include USB tower support yet. Re 9.2.1 - I found the same problem when I moved from 9.1 to 9.2.1. The Lego driver was happy at 9.1 and hung during boot with 9.2.1. It would boot ok if you (...) (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
