Hi,
FYI, I've successfully used RCX on a MacBook Pro (Mac OS X/Intel) using :
- MacOS X 10.4.6
http://www.apple.com
- MacNQC v4.0b4 (running under rosetta)
http://homepage.mac.com/rbate/MacNQC/
- LEGO SERIAL Tower (yes, Serial)
- Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter
http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA19HS/
- Keyspan USB Serial Adapter software for Mac OS X v2.0 (universal binary)
http://www.keyspan.com/support/macosx/usa/
It works fine, despite MacNQC is a PPC App.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll try later Spybotics instead of RCX, but it should also work fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Other config working successfully (if you really need it on a Mac) :
- Windows XP SP2 with Apple BootCamp on the MacBookPro
- Lego Software or any other software
- LEGO SERIAL Tower (yes, Serial)
- Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter with windows XP driver
----------------------------------------------------------------
So, the MacBook Pro is a really great multi-OS laptop computer for Mindstorms
:-)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wishes :
- an universal binary MacNQC
- an universal binary BrickOS & leJOS (not yet investigated)
