Great info!
USB IR tower sounds good, I want to use my IR tower with my iBook, but
I'm too lazy to buy an USB/Parallell port...

I'm planning to use MacNQC then, but AFAIK, MacNQC doesn't "know" that
there is a USB port on my computer... Or will it recognise the IR tower
once it's plugged in?

(...) USB/SERIAL you mean. (...) Yes, if it works like the PC once it's plugged in the drivers tell the OS that there is a "Serial Port" for it. Then it works just fine. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
