Steve,

AFAIK, the two RCX versions are identical, apart from the power jack that
is.

Regards,

Hi All,
I just got a Mindstorms 1.5 and the RCX does *NOT* have an AC jack! So if • you
plan to power the rails from a stationary location, plan on having a lot • of
batteries or a rechargable battery setup...

I called LEGO Consumer Affairs and they are happy to trade it for me. But • it
is on a case by case basis (standard good corp practice)...

Here are some set numbers as a reference
9719 = Mindstorm ver 1.0 (w/AC jack)
9747 = Mindstorm ver 1.5 (w/ *NO* AC jack)
9709 = RCX replacement (w/AC jack)

BTW is there any other hardware of firmware differences between 1.0 & 1.5? • Is
there a way to down load a 1.5 kernal to a 1.0 RCX?
