Cycling through all of the Com ports with the nqc command (nqc -SCOM1,2,4 -d
test.nqc) gives the message 'Could not open serial port' for each port
tried. nqc -SCOM3 -d test.nqc gives the error 'no replay from RCX'. With the
-v option, Com Ports 1,2 and 4 give 'Could not open serial port' and Com
Port 3 gives the output:

No reply from RCX
I have tried all of the simple things (batteries, check cables, re-install
lego software, reboot, re-register spirit.ocx) to no avail. Any additional
insight is appreciated.
