Just make sure you turn off all but one RCX when downloading programs or
firmware. RCXs tend to pick up the IR signal when you least expect it. I once
tried to download firmware into a new RCX, and forgot that there was another RCX
in the room, still powered up. The first attempts to download failed miserably.
I guess both RCX's picked up the signal, and the download program couldn't deal
with multiple RCXs responding. I had no idea what was going on, moved the IR
tower and the first RCX around a bit, and eventually got the firmware
downloaded. Some time later I was trying to use the other RCX, and it was
completly wiped clean. The firmware was gone. At first I was completly puzzled,
but eventually I figured out what had happened.
