On a slightly related note, I've been trying to get all this to work via
Linux on a PowerBook FireWire. I have a keyspan USB PDA adapter (USA-19), I
seem to be able to at a minimum send characters to the tower (the green
light of justice lights up) but can't seem to get anything back from it. I
was just wondering if anyone has had any luck w/ USB adapters under Linux on
the mac...
Hows that for a longshot :)

My first guess would be that the RCX doesn't have firmware loaded (If you see "00.00" on the display, firmware is loaded, if you just see an icon and "1", then it isn't). Second guess (...)
