The tower is just a serial device! No driver (other than that supplied by Win2K) needed! You can also use NQC to program your brick, or order RoboLab ($25) from Pitsco (www.pldstore.com). Here are my biases: RCX code teaches you *nothing* about real (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
