NQC is definitely sticking with its C heritage with respect to semi-colons. Elisabeth mentioned fancier math and IP features. Neither of those seem possible when you consider that the compiler has to generate code that runs on the LEGO firmware (...) (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

How did you do to specify that it is an 2.4.20-4GB-athlon kernel version? When I'm trying to compile it using : ./configure make su make install the complier says : /lib/modules/2.4.20-...usbtower.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20-4GB while (...)

I tried to install the usb driver on my 2.4.20-4GB-athlon kernel.

Hi, (...) that depends on which tower you are talking about: - For the serial tower just do it. - For the USB tower it seems you can't, as there is no documented function to do that. Jürgen (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Can I change the parity setting of ther IR tower so that I can use 8 data bit, no parity, 1 stopbit instead of 8 databit, odd parity, 1 stopbit. I want to access the IR tower with a serial port that has only the settings 8N1. (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
