pardon my newbie-ness.  i am researching mindstorms, as i am getting
myself a set for xmas.  now i am confused about the fact everyone seems
to want RIS with the v 1.0 RCX.  is this true?  i guess i am just
caught up in the details and new (to me) acronyms and names.  i will
make the assumption the RIS is the prefered set to have.

i am looking to use nqc and maybe legOS.  will these work with 1.5?
The problem is that 1.5, does not have the vbx file to allow these to work.
You have to get this from a version 1 system.

i saw the post about buying the 1.0 set and upgrading to 1.5 and getting
lots more pieces and stuff.  that sounds good, but it brings me back to
the question of do i want 1.5?  does it work with nqc?   legOS?
1.5, adds quite a few useful pieces, but loses a few others. Having '1'
upgraded, gives you the best of both worlds...

and how the heck does "scout" fit into all this?!
Doesn't really. Cheaper controller, hardcoded, not firmware upgradeable.

is there a faq!?  a chart!?  good lord, i am just buying legos!!
Fun Huh...

(...) That's not true. Neither NQC nor LegOS require any vbx files. (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
