Glad it worked for you and thanks for the heads up on the RCX 2.0 problems. i
don't have a 2.0 RCX to play with so i'm not sure if it is a timing issue that
can be resolved or what.
i was very excited the first time i got my RCX to talk to the PF reciever. i
pushed the run button expecting nothing to happen just like nothing had happend
the other 800 times i had hit the run button. then something moved! i screamed
so loud my wife though i had hurt myself.
