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!

Is the pin assignment indicated in the RCX internal  universal or just
specified for lego serial tower?

Its a universal cable. Just about any null modem cable would do, but not all
cables are null modem.

Try using lejosfirmdl and see what it says.

That's right.
