Jameco also sells AC adapters that are a perfect replacement for the
Radio Shack version. Back when I had time to sell items through the
Club100 store, these are the adapters I ordered and resold:

God knows I have tons of those as well. I'm always afraid when
mismatching voltage, amperage. Not that I haven't done it many
times before! So thanks for that info. Maybe I will try it....

Hello,
I power my M100 off a USB power supply, though I admit I made
the cable myself. Dead or no longer used phones, tablets, GPS
devices, ebook readers, etc. all came with these things. I
have more than enough of them floating around, and it works
for the M100 even though it is only 5V out. I tried to
standardize things so I could use the USB power supplies for
electronic devices, like the MVT100 display adapter. That
method didn't work for the Psion 5MX, though, even though the
thing really only wants 3 V (2 AA batteries).

Just joined the list as I just acquired a used TRS80 Model
100. Of course it's not working, so I just wanted to first
ask for some advice. I have been reading info at Club100.
Basically, I feel I need to buy some stuff at Club100.
First and foremost a new battery, which is highly
recommended. Also expansion RAM (since none has been
installed), probably the power supply (although maybe
premature). But probably better cost wise to get
everything right away (shipping costs!).
Anyhow, opening it up though I see that this thing
obviously had batteries left in it and there is dry acid
(whatever that is) about that general area on the board.
My concern is that that might be enough damage that
there's no way to recover it. Or maybe cleaning that area
up might be fine. What is recommended for cleaning up
battery acid, btw.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Curtis
