does anyone know the maximum continuous current that a RCX motor output can
drive? (I want to connect a light.)

9.3x volts when  a Train Power supply is used. Down to as little as 6.5 volts
when batteries are getting pretty low.

That's all nice and well, but Bernd asked about current.
I think it's on the order of several hundred mA,
but I don't have exact figures.
Unfortunately there is no (more?) data sheet for the
10402 motor controller used in the RCX at
http://www.melexis.com/site/products/featured/feature_90308.htm

Oh, if that's the case I've heard it's 500 mA per port, with a max being whatever
the batteries/ power supply's max is.
