BH>50-100 dollars. :(
I have a Compaq Aero myself. Seen some miles & looks every bit of it.
Also had serious problems with the battery packs. Even sent off & got a
new one. That stopped working, too.
So I simply built a little box out of Radio Shack parts & battery
holders & such, with a cigarette lighter socket on it. Plug the cig
lighter adapter into that, and into the machine, and I'm up & running.
Bit big & clumbsy, but functional. Then I started having problems with
the display.
Now I just use it like a compact desktop machine.
