BTW, the reason for that business is because one of the robot in the lab (a Nomad 200 upgraded with a new computer), how you know, uses linux, and the idea is use the meteor2 in the new Nomad's computer... but first, we need that the meteor2 works at the desktop computer, for other projects... thanks again... I hope you can help me :) ... Hugo Ortega H. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Información de Estados Unidos y América Latina, en Yahoo! Noticias.
