It's the 'older' RCX. The connector actually requires AC voltage at (I recall)
12V - I forget the
amperage. (I've been using an old Panasonic answering machine psu that's 13v @
500mA for 10months now with no
problems.)

Subject: External supply for RCX
Hi,
recently I purchased a LEGO Dacta Robotics set containing a RCX. To my
surprise, the RCX was different from that I purchased with RIS 1.5 a month ago.
The 'new' one has a socket for an external voltage supply (as I can guess from
the '9-12 V' caption placed near to it).
Can anybody tell me which of the two RCXs types is the most recently produced
one?
And a more important question: What is the orientation (where is + and -) of
the socket?
Anyway, I think the external supply option is a good thing that may help during
testing and debugging sessions.
Thanks for answering.
Jan
