Does the RCX in RIS 1.5 have a power adapter? I don't a RIS 1.5 yet
(getting one tomorrow!).
What I do know is that Lego Dawsonville, GA (706) 216-2800 has the RCX 1.0,
(with the power jack!!), set 9709, and the price has been dropped to 69.99.
They will to mail orders, price is 8.95 for up to the first 100 bucks of
shipping.
