(...) I don't think there is an RCX 1.5, there are different RCX 1.0 from RIS 1.0 (with AC-adapter) and from RIS 1.5 (without, I have two). As far as I understand (I have no first-hand experience) the only practical difference is that the RCX 2.0 IR (...) (21 years ago, 7-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello, I opened a new 9747 (RIS 1.5) today and was slightly surprised to find a 2.0 RCX brick inside. Has anyone any clue how this can be? Kind regards, Wessel ...who wished they'd accidentaly put the USB tower in instead of the serial but alas. (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
