Hi Rob,
I have a Toshiba Laptop with a USB 2.0 and I bought a USB Tower at Bricklink
because my Laptop doesn't have a serial output (I think that they do not make
laptops with it anymore). At my first try my computer didn't lock up, but I
couldn't use the fast firmware download and BrickCC and NQC couldn't transmit
some programs to my RCX (It could transmit some tiny programs, but it gave an
error when I tried to transmit the 9_rotation.nqc example program from brickCC).
I solved the problem going to the LEGO USB Tower at the control panel,
swithing to the Advanced Tab and setting the Read Timeout (1st Byte) to 300
msec.
Now, everything seems to work fine. I just would like to understand why this
change fixes my problem?
Hope that this helps,
Ildefonso.
