The IR tower can be used on a MAC using ROBOLAB and a MAC cable for

Pitsco (http://www.pitsco-legodacta.com/html/robolab.html) sell the MAC cable
(bundled with the tower)

Pitsco Datca also sells the Mac cable alone, without the IR tower, for $15.

However, there is no need to buy it from Dacta.  The Mindstorm IR
tower cable (DB-9 female on both ends) will work with Robolab
software on a Mac with a DB-9 to mini-DIN 8 adapter, or you can use a
Mac DB-9 modem cable.  However, don't use a printer cable, because
its connections are crossed over.

Question??? If Robolab uses the RCX and can be programmed from either a PC or a MAC, How does it download the program on a MAC?? From what I have been reading, the IR tower CAN NOT be used on a MAC. John A. Donaldson (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
