(...) The RCX has a bridge rectifier inside, that converts the AC to DC. It also has a voltage regulator that allows it to take a fairly large input voltage range. You can safely power it with a DC supply, however I wouldn't recommend leaving it on (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)

(...) When a fellow MichLUGer brought up the question of hooking up an external power supply to a 2.0 RCX, a lot of these interesting little facts popped up. From the way it sounded, the RCX has a maximum amperage draw, and each side of the bridge (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)
