Try BrickLink:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=Robotics+Invention+System%2C
Some of the differences:
RIS v1.0 has an RCX w/external power jack that many find useful and includes
a serial IR tower.
v1.5 RCX (also stamped v1.0) has no external power jack; the set also
includes a serial IR tower.
v2.0 has no external power jack and includes a USB IR tower.
All 3 versions of the RCX are cross-compatible with the 2 different versions
of the Mindstorms firmware and RIS software. If you plan on using NQC and
BrixCC, the RIS software is of little importance.

| Hi, I am new to RIS, but want to catch along as soon as possible, can you suggest which RIS version (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0) is good to start with. I tried to find RIS 1.0 at some place but couldnt get it. If anybody can help me out, I will appreciate it. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
