a third one? :P I'm thinking of getting an Cybermaster Unit this week.

I've just installed windows 95, but the issue still remains.. The signal from the mobile unit doesn't reach the base unit/software. Long time ago we called with Lego Service and they send us a new base unit. But neither works so the mobile station must be broken. Anybody know how to fix it? I do have some electronic skills but on the eye nothing seems to be broken.

I am running windows 98SE on a special for that purpose refurbished old desktop, so I don't really think those steps would be necessary. If not impossible. It should just work native I thought.. But thanks for those instructions, it may come handy in the future :)

Hello, This week I thought it was a good idea to try and bring my old cybermaster parts back to life for my little brother. It has been about 11 years or so I last tried to get it working. For this purpose I managed to get an old PC with a serial port and installed windows 98SE and the cybermaster software on it. Unfortunately the cybermaster programmable brick still doesn't respond after this much time. I can remember from my childhood that even back then it did not work. So I thought I recheck every connection and software/driver setting but nothing I did brought it back to life. The diagnose-wizard inside the cybermaster software said that there is a communication error from the mobile (programmable) brick to the base station. That seems consistent with my conclusion, because the LED's on the mobile station indeed flickers in response to the data send to it. Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? Software- or hardware-wise? Ofcourse I'm only using new batteries;)
