Just wondering - I've seen people hook up 2 motors to a port - how many is
it safe to use?  How much current can this thing supply?  Can it drive the
old-style 9V motors?

I think the RCX can handle two motors on a port.  The data for the driver
can be found at the following URL:

It says 600ma which should be enough.  I've driven the old style 9V motors
also.
