rcx 2.0 without power plug !?

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>hi guys!


i got a brand new r.i.s 2.0 set (cheap :-), and now i'm

a little confused:

the rcx brick (it says "2.0" on it) has no connector for

an external power source. i thought it should!??


however, if i remove the dark grey bottom, the green

battery holder has an opening in its "frame". it seems

like it is prepared for holding a connector, but there's

none built in...


any ideas?


some other questions:


- my other rcx is from a r.i.s 1.5 set i bought new.

  however, it says "rcx 1.0" on the rcx brick. why?


- can i use the 2.0 firmware (downloaded from lego

  or from the r.i.s 2.0 cd?) on all versions of rcx's

  (1.0, 1.5, 2.0)?


- can i also use the software environment and the

  usb ir-tower from r.i.s 2.0 for all these rcx's?


thanks a lot for any input!

many greetings

mat

Yes, I think they are all identical from a user point of view. My RCX (...) (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I believe you can get an RCX with AC plug from DACTA (Ask before ordering) I got one a couple of months ago ($125, Ouch) Lester (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
