Unstable when attaching mains
Hello! I thought it might be a good idea to attach a mains adapter to my Z88 while exchanging data with my WIN box via Eazylink2 (I suppose the serial connection needs some energy... :-)). While attaching the mains adapter (the "newer" original Cambridge Computer plug-in power supply) the Z88 went i...

Z88 Source Book
While exploring my new toy I came (of course) across many hints, tips and (old) printed documentation for the Z88 eco system. Just because I'm old and like to read stuff actually printed on paper I made some quick PDF'ing of Timothy Swenson's "Z88 Source Book" (+ Addendum #1). Of course you don't ne...

Re: NiMH Batteries@Z88
Thanks for the info.
I did not knew that the NiMH batteries show the same rapid voltage drop than the older NiCd type. So I'll stick with standard alkalines then...

Ah, ok, nice idea to add a LED to the adapter line...
I use a 3rd party mains adapter (without switch), so I can only hope that it really feeds the Z88 when connected...

NiMH Batteries@Z88
I was searching for some newer information regarding the use of re-chargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (instead of the usual alkaline batteries). I could not find anything relevant except comments about the not-so-modern NiCd type of batteries (which don't seem to be recommended...). Has someo...

Mains adapter attached?
I got an external mains adapter recently and just wanted to test whether it works or not. Is there inside the Z88's operating system (here: 4.7.1) a place where the attachment of a mains adapter is visible?
