Hi all, I currently use legOS on my linux machine. I want to be able to use it on my laptop, so i'm not always tied to my desktop. I purchased a Serial USB adapter since my laptop does not have a serial port. $80!!! I decided that it would be much (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I need to look at some items for Joerg, but I'll also look at a small supervisor that integrates the View,Run,Prgm,and On/Off buttons. This hsould be pretty easy and would be a good bit of example code. Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
