There are two different versions of the RCX. Unfortunately, they are both
labeled "RCX 1.0". The one that comes with the Robotics Invention System 1.0 has
a power adapter input and the one that comes with RIS 1.5 does not.
It is possible to use alligator clips and other parts to make your own adapter
for a power supply jack. I haven't done this or seen any information about
someone having done this. This option would use a different power adapter (DC)
than you would use with the original RCX (AC - although it will supposedly work
with DC, Lego sells an AC one).
It is possible to damage your RCX, so proceed with caution.

| Thanks for the reply! Aside from the power adapter on the RCX unit that comes with RIS 1.0, what are the differences between those two sets? .josh .jburley@kuci.org (...) has (...) work (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
