(...) [...] Hi Ralph, Could you please explain more about consequences for pbFORTH user? As far as I can see, pbFORTH uses fixed 256-byte stack - does it mean that pbFORTH suffers from this problem too? Thanks Sergey Udovenko (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

When did this vanish then? All the online information I can find says that the RCX has a 6-12V AC power connector. My one that I bought this weekend doesn't :( (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I just bought a second RCX (version 1.5., on sale at K's Merchandise here in Illinois for $155). I just checked--it doesn't have a power connector either! :( Mike Kory Kevin Bracey <kevin.bracey@pacemicro.com> wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

RIS for $155!!!!! Is that a special discount limited offer price!!! Limit one per household? The RCX brick lists for $129. So you get all the rest for $26!! JB (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Does this mean that RIS 1.0s are going to rapidly become *more* valuable than RIS 1.5s?! Stuart PS That seems a very cheap price - I thought they were $210? (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I just pulled out my receipt. It was $155.97. That's 20% off their normal price. I bought the last one at my store here in Champaign, Illinois. I don't know where the other stores are. If I remember correctly, they had the Droid system for about (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Unfortunately, yes. The current version of pbFORTH allocates a 256 byte stack, but it's JUST above a 256 byte boundary. When you run the test code, everything works, but if your stack depth is around 12 and you run SENSOR_READ, it allocates (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) My guess is it vanished after they got too many "defective" units back after folks started putting adapters with the wrong voltage on their bricks. Even a wired voltage spike might kill the brick. The battery route is safer from a product (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean that TLG have effectively been lying if they claimed that the RCX unit itself is still the RCX 1.0? It seems like it may be worthwhile complaining (does anyone know an email address for (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
