I just installed the software for Vision Command. VC uses the 2.0 firmware.
I have not had any problems with the 2.0 firmware on my RCX 1.0 brick (from
the RIS 1.5 set).
According to Mindstorms tech support the 2.0 firmware is final . The only
thing that is still in beta on their site is the mindscript software
language.
FYI: The RIS 2.0 IR tower is USB (according to the tutorial in VC).
Hope this helps.
