If, by chance, BricxCC (or NQC) happened to be the popular program to which you
refer I'd love to hear more details about your software tests and the code you
use for communicating with the RCX via the USB tower.  I'm not particularly
happy with the performance of the USB tower under BricxCC.

After several measurements, I've concluded that the USB Tower is "natively" only slightly slower (~20 milliseconds per message) (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
