That's terrible! I've found the AC adapter plug to be very useful.
We use the AC adapter port primarily to conserve batteries while
programming/testing our RCX. I also once tried to avoid having to
re-download the firmware and my programs by plugging the RCX into my AC
adapter while I removed the batteries for recharging ... Unfortunately I
goofed, and forgot to set the automatic power down to "infinite." :)

| (...) Wait a minute... Doesn't the RCX hold its firmware across the auto power down? I thought it did. That being the case, all you'd have to have done was turn it back on, no? -Kekoa (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
