(...) Hi all - I'm new to this list - why? - I just got my RIS 1.5 last week (RIS 1.0 was never available in Denmark - as far as I know) - someone in RTL asked me for a scan of the new lego's in the RIS 1.5 - so I uploaded a scan here: All bricks: (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Was that a 1.0 or 1.5? I'm hoping it's just the 1.5's, since there are still 1.0's around. I can't believe there wouldn't be an option for wall power (even with a funky idiot connector to prevent overvoltage). What about models that have large (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Actually, there's a ton of space left in the ROM, I wonder if they ADDED anything useful, like a real OS kernel :-) <<<<< I suspect they had to leave it alone, sadly. They have to maintain both forward and backward compatibility, otherwise (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Interesting enough, I once withdrew the power connector on a unit under full load - sensors, motors, everything on - because the task manager had gone into an endless loop. After duly waiting a couple of seconds, I reinserted the plug. Blue (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It was a 1.5. I wonder what you get if you order a separate RCX now? I would hope ones with a power connector would still be in stock. (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I don't think so - it looks the same shape as the pictures of RIS 1.0 RCXs I've seen. I doubt they would change the external shape as it would cause problems with plans in expansion kits etc. I expect there's just a lot of empty space inside. (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

From: "Jesper Kjaer" <jesperkj@vip.cybercity.dk> (...) Any idea what the blue brick 4 rows down in the last column is for? It looks very strange. The double yellow connector (3rd column, 12 rows down) is kind of interesting as well. I don't think (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks very much for posting the scan of the 1.5 bricks. It's helped answer questions we've all had about what "new" stuff would be included. Of course, now we all want to find out exactly what some of them do! I suppose asking for scans of the new (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
