Powerbook 5300 with MacNQC:
After about 4 seconds "No response or bad response from RCX. Make sure the
RCX's receiver is facing the IR device and the RCX is turned on."
Palm 130 with PBrick Demo:
play sound 1, play sound 2, and play sound 3 "ERROR: No reply"
get battery voltage "ERROR: No reply"
FW "Get versions: ROM:0301, Firmware 0000"
This is with new batteries in both the tower and the brick 1.0
