I have a mac Powerbook (non-USB) running system 8.1 and using a Palm 3
serial port adapter for the IR tower. I have no fax or hotsync software
loaded, nor any peripherals attached. I'm running the Lego Mindstorms
software (RIS 1.0) under Virtual PC 3.0 with "Com 1" configured to my
modem/printer serial port. When I run setup to download the firmware the
software can't find the IR tower with a "IR tower not connected" error
message. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(...) The RIS software does some unusual things with the handshake lines. You'll either need to patch the RIS software or run an Applescript to configure VPC in order for the RIS software to work. See (URL) for more info. Dave (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
