Hi! all,
Thanks for the replies, now I can use one null-modem cable with 2 DB-adapters to
construct the cable for the RCX communicatoin. But the cost is about US$5.5. If the
shipping fees to HK were not so high, I would perfer to buy the default lego through
web! Anyway, thanks for yours help! Now I can concentrate on the development of the
mindstorms robots on linux using leJOS! I'm a novice in this context, so many times
we will have to chat here!
