  About 8 to 10 years ago there was more RCX-compatible sensors makers on the web. Today, I don't think we'll find them unless we dig into the [Internet Archive](http://www.archive.org/web/web.php).
  
  It looks like [Techno-Stuff](http://www.techno-stuff.com) is still making some RCX-compatible components. Also, [Mindsensors](http://www.mindsensors.com) was making RCX-compatible components also but I couldn't find links to them through their website main page (It might be discontinued). You can probably still buy some through eBay. Here are two of their RCX compatible products:
