I just got my RCX about 4 weeks ago and am running Win2k, of course the included software doesn't work on Win2k. actually, it only works on Win98 and 95, and not always then. I sent a message to support, (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Thank you very much Ben for taking the time to help me. I called up Lego and they say they're sending me the CD, but it'll take 2-3 weeks!

The tower is just a serial device! No driver (other than that supplied by Win2K) needed! You can also use NQC to program your brick, or order RoboLab ($25) from Pitsco (www.pldstore.com). Here are my biases: RCX code teaches you *nothing* about real (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
