All,

I've got an RCX 1.0, and my son has a 1.5.  Is there anything that would cause
problems if I loaded 1.5 firmware into a 1.0 RCX?

While on the topic, what about 2.0 firmware in a 1.0 RCX?

  Re: RCX firmware vs hardware
 
(...) No, that won't cause any problems. The software versions are all interchangable between the RCXs, so you can use 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 software/firmware on 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 RCXs. I have both 1.0 and 2.0 RCXs, and I use the same firmware on both. (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics)
