Hi, Seven VA stands for 7 volt-ampere. To arrive at the ma/A rating divide 7 VA by 10 Volts. In this case it will be 700 ma ( 0.7 Amp). I do not have the mindstorm, neither have I tried the 9 Volt adapter but in general a 9 volt adapter should work. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I just got a second RIS, this one is the RIS 1.0 with the power adapter input. I tried to find that AC adapter on S@H , but couldn't find it. There is not even any info about it in the RIS 1.0 itself. All the info I found was, that I need a 10V 7VA (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I think you guys are a little mixed up. Look at the back cover of the Pitsco catalog you just received. You will see 4 catalogs pictured one of which is the Pitsco Lego Dacta catalog that you probably received about a month ago. I was tickled to get (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, when I expressed my concern to Lego about the Microsoft tie-in, they sent me a nice letter in reply saying that the tie in was mainly to do with the Lego computer games and that Mindstorms software wouldn't be affected. (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

The new Pitsco DACTA catalog still has the same Mindstorm stuff - updated. The Mars exploration package now has the Lego Digital Camera instead of the old Logitech one. The new CAD program from Autodesk ships March 1, replacing the old one. So, I (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I got the PLD "Because Young Minds Matter" catalog a couple weeks ago, and it has tons of RCX-based Dacta/Mindstorms products; there's even a RCX/Vision Command-based robot on the cover. LEGO has certainly not discontinued the Mindstorms line. From (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Huh? I got one of those a few weeks ago, and it is full of Mindstorms and Robolab products. Jim, are you sure you got the Lego Dacta catalog? Pitsco has multiple catalogs! (...) ... (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Very interesting, and not in a good way. :( How often does the S@H catalog come out? I wonder if Lego is just keeping quiet on Mindstorms until RIS 2.0 is available. (...) The bean counters carry a lot more weight than a web counter. While (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
