Just wondering... I ordered a RIS 2.0 set one from S@H in the US on Friday, and got a ship confirmation notice on Monday. I haven't heard anything on this list or other lugnet newsgroups about anybody actually getting a RIS 2.0 yet. I can't believe (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I've had mine a week already, but I pre-ordered it pretty early. How did you have it shipped? It seemed like shipping took a day or two longer than usual. Greg Betzel (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

To continue on my own post... (...) ... (...) There are now three range settings - Short, Medium, and Long. Long is only possible if you plug the tower into a high-power USB port. I.e. plugging it into a non-powered hub or some laptops doesn't work (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Tilman, what you are saying is that the set *seems* to be identical except for a new IR Tower, new software and some additional 'challanges'. For me, the serial-connected tower seemed OK and the packaged software stays in the package, unused. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) That's correct. (...) Why would you want to buy one unless you want additional RCX's? I think there's enough demand for the RIS from new customers that they don't have to worry about enhancing it enough to get existing customers to buy it all (...)

I ordered five of RCX's primarily for the USB tower and to provide more stations for classes. (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Doesn't that mean the ROM must have been changed? IIRC the RCX 1.0 could not do VLL... Chris (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I was talking about the new USB tower, not the RCX. The RCX is visually unchanged, except for the "2.0" inscription on the side. Tilman (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)
