Doesn't Heath sell a car adapter for this machine?  Seems to me I've
seen reference to such somewhere.  I'll look at home tonight.  As for
the tech ref, if you get a handle on that, I'm REALLY interested.  I
think I have an open connection in the wiring to the External Disk Drive
connector, and I really don't want to take the trouble to open the beast
up without SOME sort of paperwork ('specially since I have kluged a way
around the problem for now).  I'll re-ask a previous question: has
anybody hooked up an external 5" drive to this laptop?  I have it
"working", but not without some problems in doing so, and as I say, I
think I'm missing one connector signal.
