MacNQC 4.05b, RCX 1.0 and OS X 10.4.6 can't program the brick

Hello with a query from the past...

   I used MacNQC for ages on other computers but I find now that I can't
write a program out to an RCX 1.0 brick using MacNQC 3.04 or 4.05b.  I
can send the firmware with no problem but when I try to download a
program I get a "communications error" type of message every time.  This
is with either the USB tower or a regular serial tower through a
USB/serial dongle.  I'm using a 1.33GHz G4 running Tiger 10.4.6.  Has
anyone else seen this and know what critical step that I'm missing?
I've posted to LUGNET, but it takes forever for a non-member's post to
show up there apparently, so I'm taking a stab at the robot crew at
large here.  Any ideas?

thanks,
DLC
