I have unable to get bluetooth working even under windows running natively on
an intel mac. When the autorun started on the lego driver / software disk,
it reported that bluetooth would not work on this computer. I setup the
pairing manually and tried to access the nxt brick in both nxt-g and robotc.
Any clue why this setup should not work?

| (...) I haven't tried it using windows on an intel mac (I have a MacBookPro) and I haven't tried robotc, however I am able to communicate with the NXT in OSX on an intel mac, using bluetooth serial ports and ruby. For more info see: (URL) (18 years ago, 29-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
