  Want to Buy a RCX USB IR-Tower
 
Guys, Just retrieved my (dusted) RCX kit & a few spybots, when I move things around, unfortunately, my notebook does not have serial port any more. Moreover, the CD does not support XP either.

  RIS 2.0 software
 
I just gave my 12 year old daughter a RIS 1.0 (yep, an original one with the 1.0 RCX) set for her birthday. Unfortunately, it looks like the software supplied with the set doesn't seem to work with XP (it seems to install, but doesn't want to run). (...) (17 years ago, 16-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: MacNQC on Intel anyone?
 
Sorry I have to bring this up again, I think it would be nice to actually have a universal binary version of MacNQC around. Does anybody know somebody who could help with achieving this?

  Re: Solved Virtual Memory problem! (was: I can't get the RCX 1.5 software to run on WinXP)
 
(...) Might be a 16bit/32bit problem (or similar 24/32bit), precisely 1GB (coded on 32 bits) could return 0 when truncated to 16 or 24 bits by old software. 3000MB truncated to 16 or 24 bits might be OK. Philo (17 years ago, 10-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Solved Virtual Memory problem! (was: I can't get the RCX 1.5 software to run on WinXP)
 
Okay, I got it working. Here's the short version of the problem: I installed the RCX 1.5 software on a WinXP machine with 1GB of memory. The installation went fine. When I tried to run the program, it beeped and hung with a blanked screen. After (...) (17 years ago, 9-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Help! I installed the RCX 1.5 software on my WinXP machine. I got no errors during setup, but when I tried to run it I got an error saying it needs 3MB of virtual memory.

  RE: RoboLab
 
You need purchase a copy from legoeducation.com, then download the latest 2.9.4 patch from legoengineering.com (unless legoeducation has already had the patch from their website). The 2.9.X is a gigantic improvement from 2.5. I still do not agree (...) (17 years ago, 20-Nov-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
