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 is capable of communicating
with Spybots and Manas. Software-wise they are identical.

You exagerate. The only extra part is a thick optical fiber, and the
booklets are almost identical, except for the cover and parts list which
lists this extra part. Packaging is also very similar.

Probably they ran out of 1.0 RCXs, so they put in an RCX 2.0 .
BTW, mine don't have stickers, the numbers are printed on.

| (...) Yes RCX 2.0 can communicate with spybot if you use "extra-soft" but not with RIS soft. RCX 2.0 does not work well with IR remote, you have to be exactly in front of the RCX 's IR port to pilot it. So you can' t pilot easily RCX2.0 vehicle with (...)
