I also had an evening not too long ago where none of my RCXes would take a
firmware download.  I tried a couple different computers, different towers,
fresh batteries, different room lighting, and nothing worked.  The next time
I tried to do it (a couple weeks later) everything worked just fine.
I had a similar experience. In fact, it happens to me fairly regularly. I believe
I've traced it to bad connections in the tower's serial cable. After I fiddle
with it the problem usually goes away.

Brian B. Alano's utterance expressed in news:HEMMAJ.1n01@lugnet.com: (...) I have tried fiddling with the wires, but it's the same thing. At about 75% through the firmware download, it stops :( (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) The RCX will not respond to the remote until you succeed in downloading the firmware. The built-in romware does not listen to the remote. The remote can be used with many RCXes at once, since it is a one-way protocol with no response messages. (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
