Goodness, I hate to bring up an old thread. In fact I think this one is over a year old! No matter, curiousity is burning a hole in my cranium, and that's not something you want happening! So, has this project halted and/or died, or are we just not (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jun-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Several of these (without software) were just sold on eBay...I got one! Now to find something to drive it. Is Robolab still the only way to use the 9751? Or, have there been other developments? Perhaps an addition to nqc and BricxCC? Any help would (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jun-05, to lugnet.technic)
