Nope, I've written a program to send messages to the RCX (like the
send.c program on RCX Internals) for the Amiga side - I can boot
into LinuxPPC or AmigaOS - and that works fine. If I can work out
the format of the image files nqc generates I'll probably write
a program to upload them to the RCX - I haven't really got time
to port the whole compiler.

(...) The format is described in rcxlib/rcxifile.h in the source distribution. (...) Assuming you have a reasonably modern C++ compiler (gcc is ideal), then the port is rarely more complicated than creating a special subclass of the PSerial class (...)

(...) This may not be a driver bug - it may be a hardware limitation. AFAIK, parity is most commonly used with 7 bit words - support for a ninth bit (8 data plus parity) is poor or non-existant on some UARTs. Dave (24 years ago, 4-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
