Hi all, I having trouble connecting a PowerMac G3 (beige model, 233MHz) to the IR tower. I've tried NQC, MacNQC but keep getting "Error: no response from IR tower". I've also tried ZTerm to see if I can get an echo back. The Green LED in the tower (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

All, I was wondering if there is anyway to put the RCX into basically a stand-by power saving mode and have it wake up when sent a command through the IR, basically "Wake on IR". That would be real handy for my Lego Cam when I want to turn on the (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
