sorry folks, the activeX control is intel x86 specific, it would need to be
cross compiled for whatever processor your CE device uses.
You're right, unfortunately, about the IR port. It's hard to get low enough
level access to it. (There've been endless discussions about writing a
universal remote for CE, even that has proved impractical.)
As for carrying around a CE device, nice idea, but if your going that far
why not just write an embedded CE robot?

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.)
