I have a PowerBook G3 233mhz (I think it's a wallstreet; it's black with the
big white apple on the front, first generation) with plenty of ram. I'm also
running system 8.1. The green light on the IR tower comes on when I run
MacNQC and issue commands from the "test" panel, but I keep getting "RCX not
responding" errors. The lighting in the room is not too bright, the RCX is
plugged in with an adapter and pointed right at the IR tower. Check my other
posts for more details (I'm kind of desperate). Thanks!

| (...) Yep. Thats the exact same PowerBook that I have, even down to the speed. I never could get it to talk to the IR Tower. The same IR Tower would talk to the older SE/30 with no problems. It may be a volage problem, or it may have something to do (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
