Having done both Geological and Astronomical field work the one thing I can suggest, and you may have already thought of this, is to test everything out. Assemble the equipment, set it all up as if you were in the field and see: how long does the system run before the battery is exhausted

if at all possible, you'd be way ahead using an old laptop like a duo or something, in the case of a duo there are a lot of small docks available to add ports. if that won't work, and you're into electronics the best thing to do is build a power supply for the se/30 to run directly off the

I've seen power adaptors that hook into a car lighter that converts the power for a three-prong plug. I haven't seen it in use. Is there a similar port to a car lighter where you will be? David Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/. Support
