Don't confuse the hardware version number (RCX 2.0) with the firmware
version number. The 2.0 firmware has been available as part of the "2.0 RIS
Beta SDK" download for quite some time from the Mindstorms web site. The 2.0
firmware can be downloaded into all RCX bricks, no matter if it's a 1.0,
1.5, or 2.0 brick. The 2.0 desktop software works just fine with both the
USB IR tower and the older serial IR tower, and with all RCX brick
versions - as long as you upgrade the firmware to 2.0.

That IS cool. Now the problem is to figure out if this new feature
was implemented using the exisiting ROM or if the entry points have
changed.

Has anybody tried to run legOS or pbForth on the new RCX 2.0?

(Maybe I can use this as an excuse to buy one...)

If so, then we need to do a heck of a lot of work to get legOS,
pbForth, and
other replacement firmware to play nicely with the RCX....

Is there any functional difference when you put 2.0 firmware into a 1.0 or 1.5 RCX rather than a 2.0? Martin "Tilman Sporkert (webMethods)" <lego-robotics@crynwr.com> wrote in message news:IJEDLKPEKPPCLPN...ods.com... (...) RIS (...) 2.0 (...) (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics)
