firmdl3 problem? - Tower not responding

Hi..
I am having problems making firmdl3 work..
I have compiled it on a Linux box (Mandrake 6.0)
and I get 'tower not responding' but the LED is
coming on..
Also, after that error message, control does not
return to the terminal. After playing around a
little, I found that if I removed the tower wakeup
section then the RCX would flash the download icon
briefly then it would fail with 'bad IR echo' and
again, control would not return to the terminal..

Tried firmdl also and got 'failed to delete firmware'..

Later, I am going to try from win95.. just to double
check reception..

Any ideas or should I try NQC instead?

Cheers / Martin

As far as I can tell, exit is called correctly in all circumstances where "tower not responding" could be generated. (...) Again, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
