Y2K ?! heck, I'd be happy to use lego mindstorms NOW in 1999.
It seems I MUST have my IR tower as COM1 or COM2 (the built-in motherboard
ports), either that or the software does not like my Equinox super serial
card. With the IR tower on COM3 the mindstorms software just can't seem to
communicate with the RCX although it does find the tower. The NQC compiler
works just fine with the RCX on COM3, however.
