I opened a new 9747 (RIS 1.5) today and was slightly
surprised to find a 2.0 RCX brick inside.

The only practical difference is that the RCX 2.0 IR is capable of communicating
with Spybots and Manas.  Software-wise they are identical.

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 LEGO IR remote.  :-(((

Two RCX 1.0 can communicate together up to 10 meters distance and accept
reflected IR.
Two RCX 2.0 can communicate together up to 3 meters distance and do not accept
reflected IR.

So in my opinion, RCX 2.0 brick is not as good as 1.0 or 1.5 brick.

(...) I wonder if the RCX 2.0 to RCX 2.0 range would improve if you changed to a 76KHz carrier. (21 years ago, 8-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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)
