Unfortunately Mike, it's rather confusing - although the *sets* are numbered
1.0, 1.5 and 2.0, the RCXs are all marked 1.0. Only the one that came in the 1.0
set (9719) has a power jack, although you can also still get them from Lego
Educational division as set 9709 (just contains the RCX).

I never noticed there was only one entry on Bricklink before - there definitely
should be 2. The catalog is actually a bit confusing in this regard - it says
part 884 is in all 4 sets, which is clearly incorrect. If you purchased set
9709, then the seller listed it incorrectly, and you might wanna point that out
to them. If it was listed as 884, then you can't really blame the seller because
of the incorrect catalog.

I'll post a message on BL asking for the BL catalog to be fixed up.

I bought the brick by itself and I can see how the seller mis-listed it. Live and learn. I got it at a good price so I'll keep it. I still want one with an external jack. Oh well, just have to buy another. :0) Thanks for the info. Mike (21 years ago, 20-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
