Hi,

I'm trying to download pbForth onto my RCX.

I'm using NQC on NT and have downloaded the latest pbForth: 1.1.1

I'm invoking NQC with: "nqc -firmware pbforth.srec"

I get the dots crawling across the command-prompt window. When they
almost reach the right hand side, the transfer always stops with:

"No reply from RCX"

Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be ?

(The H/W is in a darkened place, IR set to FAR etc...)

-Simon

I had the same problem with Win NT and and NCQ. I've resolved it using the NQC v 2_1_b1 with -firmfast option.

(...) It's working just fine. If the LCD says "4th", then the firmware is in place, now all you need is a terminal set to 2400,n,8,1 By the way, this kind of question should be on the lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth heirarchy...
