Okay, but don't I have to buy a second adapter so that the IR cable can
fit in the Keyspan PDA adapter? Or like cut up and change positions of
the IR-cable inputs?

Or do I just have to buy an adapter, connect it, connect the IR tower,
download NQC and then I'm done?

I have had no difficulty using NQC on iMacs with a Keyspan PDA adapter

necessary drivers that allow NQC to see it. Have fun!

I have an iBook. I know about NQC and decided to give it a try. I thought "hey,
it works for mac! Great! I can install it on my iBook, run it, and then I can
program my robots on my iBook! Piece of cake!" ...not.

The iBook only has a USB port, no serial ports. Is it possible to connect the IR
Tower to a USB port, without having too much trouble, or damaging the USB port?
Will NQC know that I use a USB port? Can I get an adapter? Is it expensive?


Thanks

(...) No extra cables needed. The PDA adapter's DB9 is a configured as a standard serial port. (...) Yep. Under MacOS, this is all you do. Lon (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
