Guys,

Just retrieved my (dusted) RCX kit & a few spybots, when I move things
around, unfortunately, my notebook does not have serial port any more.
Moreover, the CD does not support XP either.

Do you aware if any online shop will sell RCX USB IR-Tower to Asia? I am
living in HK, but all overseas online shop I aware of didn't sell things to
here.

I ringed Lego HK, but they will not take customer orders (don't know what
they do here??)

Found one located in HK, but ... too late .... USB IR Tower already out of
stock.

Any suggestion for me to bring the RCX kit back to live? Can I

(...) Just buy a USB to Serial adaptor and use your Serial Tower if you can't find a USB Tower for sale anywhere. They're not very expensive and work fine. Many new desktop PC's done have serial ports these days. Dom (16 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
