Is the hardware truly the same?  There were rumors that 2.0 would go back to
having an AC plug on the brick.  If they did do that, an upgrade pack just
wouldn't cut it for people that need AC power.

I'd be surprised if they don't offer a similar upgrade to 2.0. Haven't seen
anything yet though.

Meanwhile the beta is still available at http://www.legomindstorms.com/sdk2/

Oooo - I was about to go out and buy 1.5...

Is there anyway to upgrade 1.5 to 2, without buying the whole new set? As in
some kind of software / firmware only update?

All rumour points to the hardware being the same. The pictures at S@H don't seem to indicate the return of the adapter plug, so those 9717s will still have their place.... ROSCO (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.general)
