Or an LED headlamp (my favorite for many apps), or
a clip-on LED lamp running for many hours on small
batteries.

Won't help with a Z88 - but couldn't we take
5Vdc from some available port and use it to
run a low-power LED gooseneck light? The
bar-code reader port looks like a good
candidate to me. Nice DB9->USB A dongle and
you can plug in whatever light you want,
provided the M100 can supply the current.
I'm too tired to read from the schematic
what the power supply to that port is, but
I'll bet it could spare a few hundred
milliwatts for an LED.

There are several booklamps that
clamp on to a book cover. Perhaps
you could adapt one. We're in the
Midwest and Menards -- a
Wisconsin-based Home Depot like
store -- often gives them away free
after rebate, WITH batteries included!

Hi guys,
Have any of you come up with a
decent solution to having to use
the computer in less than ideal
lighting situations?
Perhaps a portable lamp of some sort?
I'd love to hear what you guys have
come up with. I'm using a Z88 and
the screen is even more difficult
to read and I really need a solution.
Thanks, Louis
