Hi,

I'm doing a project at University involving developing some example
programs running on a Lego RCX in order to demonstrate/teach OS
concepts. I'd really like to get hold of a ROM image from the RCX, but I
only have a USB tower available, and Kekoa's instructions seem only to
apply to a serial tower (and the original 0309 firmware?).

Has anyone managed to grab a copy of the ROM using a USB tower under any
environment (win32/cygwin, linux)? Failing this, does anyone know
anywhere that might still stock serial towers (preferably in the UK),
they don't seem to be available from Lego anymore.

Thanks,

    Andrew
