Just got my second RIS, a 1.5 with Serial-Tower this time. I did not installed any other software than the previous I had (Win98, JDK1.3, Lejos 2.0, USB Drivers for Lego-Tower). I have just set RCXTTY=COM1. Problem: when doing a "lejosrun -f (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) Michael, I tried your programs on Windows and Linux. On Windows 98 the USB tower takes about one second to reply (990 - 1100ms). On Linux it took about 9 seconds as you indicate. This looks like a problem with the Linux USB driver. I will ask (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
