Hi folks,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I'm a little stumped.

I just received a RIS 1.5 set, and inside was a yellow brick labelled RCX
2.0.

That's interesting.

I'm reasonably familiar with the RCX 1.0, and I have a 1.0 with a
power jack.  This one has no power jack.

Neither does the RCX 1.5

Is this...physically the same as a 1.0 minus jack, and therefore like the
RCX 1.0's that came without in the later RIS 1.5 shipments?

Yes - I think so.  We aren't aware of any hardware differences between 1.5
and 2.0 and the only difference between 1.0 and 1.5 is the external power
socket.

...or is it a new model?  I've searched around but only found information
about the RCX 2.0 firmware.  My assumption is the board/hardware has not
changed save the silkscreen printing on the brick and the power jack, which
left in later RIS 1.5's anyways.

Exactly...and you can download and run the new firmware on the 1.0 and 1.5 RCX's
anyway.
