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 over
again. As with 1.5, I'd expect a 2.0 upgrade kit available pretty soon. So
if you want the new tower or software, you could just buy that once it is
available. If you want to do more, get the Ultimate Builders set. It should
ship sometime in August.
I only bought the 2.0 set because I'm curious, and I don't mind having an
extra RCX and the other parts.

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)
