| (...) Oops! Forgot the second half of your question. There are three RCX varients: RIS 2.0 -- Has a USB-port interface to the IR tower that lets you download programs to the RCX computer. RIS 1.5 -- Same deal - but the IR tower is interfaced via the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
