I've not tried yet, because I
don't have the converter cables to try. I suspect you will need the

sensors),

give that
ability to the commercial Mindstorms software.
I have a conveter cable so I finally did some tests with NXT-G and here is
what I find--  RCX motor runs in both directions, and responds to the
speed settings. The touch sensor works.  The light sensor measures ambient
light.  But the bad news is that it does not generate light when that
option is selected in the light sensor block. The rotation sensor block
would not read the RCX rotation sensor.   The sensor block does read the
rotation sensor in raw mode, which is just as hard  to use as raw mode in
the RCX.

Thanks for the infomation Roger. I'm going to order the convertor cables.
