That was only a rumour, AFAIK there are no RCX 2.0
with a connector for external power supply.

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?

Good question, maybe they are playing version number tricks on us?

- 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)?

Yes, I think they are all identical from a user point of view.
My RCX 1.0 from a RIS 1.5 has the same ROM contents as the
RCX 2.0 from a RIS 2.0 (but I don't know if that's identical
to the ROM contents of a RCX 1.0 from RIS 1.0).

- can i also use the software environment and the
  usb ir-tower from r.i.s 2.0 for all these rcx's?

Yes, at least you can mix RIS 1.5 and 2.0 freely.
