Wow, I'm sure glad I have the RCX 1.0 with the power jack...
I didn't even know the newer ones didn't have it until I started to
visit LUGNET...It's something I couldn't live without, not to mention
the battery contacts are unreliable...

| I did more or less that, but I put in a 7809 voltage regulator to make sure that I did no damage to my RCX (wall warts sometimes output as much as 5 volts above the printed voltage).
