RIS 1.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.0 upgrade questions

I have a Mindstorms 1.0 set.  When the 1.5 upgrade
came out, I purchased it.  I see that the 2.0
upgrade is out.  A couple of quick questions:
(1) Is the upgrade just a CD-ROM, or are
    there any pieces, users' guide,
    or Constructopedia like there was
    in the 1.5 upgrade kit?
(2) Will the 2.0 software still support RS-232
    IR towers, or only USB ones?  While my
    machine does have USB, my tower, being
    a 1.0 one, is RS-232.

Thanks.

The Software supports the serial Tower, since it asks wether you use a serial or usb-Tower. (...) -- Greetings Tobias Renz (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
