I also figured out what COM3 was: the internal modem. I disabled it in Device
Manager and now the only port that I can find in my C# app or in
Hyperterminal is COM1, the serial port. But the IR tower is still not
working. By the way, the built-in IR port attached to the hard drive slot
cover is disabled in the BIOS, so it shouldn’t be an issue. (I hope!)

Does the green light in the tower come on at all when you try to send the
message? Is the light only on when you are trying to communicate? If the light
is always one I would look for another application that is trying to use the
serial port. If the light is never on I would start wondering if the port
actually works. Is there any way you can check if the serial port is working?
Do you have another computer and a serial cable?
Too bad you can’t email hardware. With all the diagnostic equipment lying
around in my office we would have this baby working in no time.

But then it reports the error I provided earlier. (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)
