Yeah, I was wondering about that, especially with WiFi; definitely sounds a
little high. Too bad.
Maybe Jeff's solution isn't such a bad idea after all ;-)
Anyway, the M100 works fine on a "juice pack".

The pi requires a huge amount of juice relative to the tandy. A stripped
down pi will need 500 - 700 mA. The tandy I think needs less than 100.

Definitely an interesting experiment

Sounds like a lot of stuff to schlep around; would powering the Pi from the bar
code port make any sense?

Maybe you missed that I was replying to Jeff's message about external power
sources in more or less the same tone as his; the pic is a mock-up BTW.
Did you notice the "you could of course just keep an AA four-pack in your
pocket..."
However, I have used a 5-cell (6V) NiCd pack in the past and t

You know I guess I never said why I was interested in the juice packs
relative to M100.
Basically it is to power a Pi as a storage device and internet bridge yet
still be mobile.
But then I thought, since we have the extra weight anyway, what if the M100
could be powered from the same juicepack.
Also, could'nt you use 6 NiMH cells in a holder, plugged
into the "DC Adapter" jack?
I don't quite see the point of that battery holder; why put your batteries
there instead of just popping them into the laptop?

Back in my Navy days, I took my Model 100 on a Mediterranean cruise
(1986-1987), and powered the 100 for the entire six and a half months on
one 6VDC lantern battery. I just picked up a cord and connector from
Radio Shack, and used alligator clips to attach the cord to the
battery. I could go dow
