I had a similar problem and it was caused by the 9 Volt battery in the
tower. You don't mention the green light in the tower. Is it changing
brightness while you  are downloading? It should be a steady light. I cannot
find the name of the firmware file. I will keep looking.

i just purchased the mindstorm RIS set...  now i am trying to get
the firmware on it.  i dont have windows (thank god), so i am
trying to get the firmware onto the rcx with ncq.

upon trying to do anything with rcx (rcx -near, rcx -firmware..) i am
getting "No reply from RCX".  i have the tower sitting about 6 inches
from the rcx.

a red led is going on inside the tower when i send commands, so i
am assuming (?) that this means the cabling and all is set up correctly.
nothing shows on the rcx lcd however and i am always get the "no reply".
i have tried moving the tower around and flipping the near/far switch
on the tower.  maybe i am guessing at the wrong firmware file?  ((how
come nowhere can i find which one off the cd to send... i am guessing
the one in the firm/ directory))  but i am thinking that shouldnt give
me the "no reply" error ..

ugh.  please help!
