Comments.Text: [This article is from 2017](https://www.bartneck.de/2017/06/08/using-your-lego-mindstorms-rcx-on-a-modern-computer/) and might be what you need, including a link I haven't tested for the software. But if you can get the XP machine working, the software was supposed to work directly - if you could find the patches from Lego.
