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!??

One of the changes to RIS 2.0 is the removal of the AC power jack.

Actually, it was removed in 1.5 - although *some* 1.0 RCX's were shipped
in RIS 1.5 sets.  That's how I got my RCX 1.0 so I know that's true.

Does the RCX in RIS 1.5 have a power adapter?  I don't a RIS 1.5 yet
(getting one tomorrow!).

No - not unless it's a *VERY* early 1.5.

- 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)?

Don't know...

Yes - you definitely can.  So far, all versions of RCX run
all versions of the firmware. My RCX 1.0 has 2.0 firmware.

- can i also use the software environment and the

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

Don't know...

Any version of the tower works with any RCX.
