Aaagh! Cygwin B20! That's about 4 years old, IIRC. The current version is 1.3.10, soon to be 1.3.11. Get it from www.cygwin.com - and where did you manage to find B20 ? That site should either remove it or mark it as of historical interest only. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) The RCX 1.0 in RIS 1.0 has a jack, the RCX 1.0 in RIS 1.5 doesn't (unfortunately, I have two of them). The 2.0 on the RCX 2.0 is purely for decoration, there's no user visible difference whatsoever to the RCX 1.0 without the jack.
