one hardware difference is the lack of an external adapter plug in 1.5 (so,
lots more batteries) and I believe there are mild cosmetic changes to TLG
supplied software. All code (including RCX Code, NQC, legOS, and pbForth)
should be completely compatible between 1.0 and 1.5. I'm not sure how true this
will be for version 2.0- can anyone who has played with their beta software
speak to that?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the difference between version 1.0 and 1.5 of the RIS? Can
I still use legOS (or pbForth for that matter) on the RCX?

Thanks,

Nils

2.0 will work on all 1.0's and 1.5's. No worries. The 2.0 also has the power
adapter port back. YA!

The software will be legos' new pictorial AND text based that you can transfer back
and forth. Very cool stuff.
