Hello legOS fans, I have written a hack to make it possible to connect the IR tower to a NCD terminal. Here at university we are using those fan less terminals, while the servers are in another room.

Nick, It'd be helpful to know what the message was! I sometimes get "error deleting program" messages, and have to "re-boot" the RCX & re-install legOS.srec. I'm not sure what causes this, but it happens so rarely that I haven't investigated (yet). (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I just installed LegOS last night, made my first few not-too-complicated programs today, and downloaded them. They worked fine, up until I found the bugs. I tried to download a new, updated version of my program, and got an error message. (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I forgot to mention that LEGO Engineer 2.0 currently runs on top of ROBOLAB 2.0. So ok, its not *free* :) You have to spend the $25 or so on ROBOLAB first.

Just to clarify, this serial interface box that you've been given doesn't have much to do with ROBOLAB. ROBOLAB is the software for the RCX. What you want (free) is LEGO Engineer, which looks and smells a lot like ROBOLAB. (URL) Right now only the (...)
