Well, depending on the type of CE box, you might be able to just use the
activex control that lego provides (almost all CE boxes except for the
palm-size ones) support VB through the Microsoft provided CE toolkit...  if
you're willing to do this in C, then even the palm-size PC can be added to
the list potentially...  the IR port is typically irda compliant so there
might be some issues in pumping out RCX commands that way (e.g. to emulate a
carrier as in an IR remote control) although via a serial port/tower
combination, it all might work just as it would from a  PC...

It would be nice if the RCX had some sort of hardwire interface (like a
serial or usb port) so that a lego based robot could carry around a CE box
as an "expansion brain" ... although you can achieve something like this via
IR anyway...

The, of course, there is the possibility of porting one or more of the
various languages/environments, etc that are already available (nqc,
pbforth, etc.)
