And 2.0 brick uses a 76kHz IR receiver chip to get better
compatibility with Spybots/Manas but much lower sensitivity between
RCX to RCX (or RCX remote to RCX) communication. See this thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/?n=2003

It looks like there isn't as much output drive protection on the RCX2.0
PCBs, unless the MLX10402CB parts have more internal protection than the
ELEX 10402As.

Does anyone know of any information available about this? I will say now
that I haven't tried looking myself yet, just thought I'd ask first!
