What kind of AC adapter does the 100/200LX use?
CAUTION: It’s different from the 95LX! The 100/200LX uses 12VDC, negative tip, up to 750mA, approx 5.5mm OD barrel-type connector. HP recommends their part no F1011A, which is about the size of a credit card, except that it’s an inch (2.5 cm) thick, with fold-away AC prongs. It will take any input voltage from 100 to 240 Volts, at 50/60 Hz, an advantage for world travellers. Radio Shack Cat no 273-1652B seems to work, and is probably cheaper. It’s only rated at 500mA, so there may be problems when using with high-current PCMCIA cards. It appears to work ok with flash cards while charging NiCad’s, though, and current measurements indicate that the 100/200LX draws much less than 500mA with this adapter even when writing to a flash card, charging NiCads, and using the serial port simultaneously. Other compatible adapters are certainly available from various sources. The 100/200LX does not include an adapter in the box.
