The Palm isn't quite 10 years old yet, but at least this is cool
hand-held tech...
I have this Rand McNally Navman/Streetfinder GPS that wraps around a
Palm III, and I have lost track of which wall wart charges it up.
There is, of course, no power information molded into the case, and as
of yet, I have been unable to google any specs. Does anyone on the
list happen to have one of these, or even just know what the input
voltage is? I suspect it might be 12V, so that a simple lead can
charge it in the car, but even an examination of the innards hasn't
been revealing. I did run across a variable voltage car adapter with
the right tip set to 9V. Since I don't have many devices with that
particular tip (it's the smallest female coax connector in the
standard Radio Shack kit), I have reason to suspect that I may have
rigged this up some years ago, but I have no direct proof.
I realize I should have scrawled the power info on the back with a
Sharpie, something I will now do, once I put this thing back in
service.
Thanks for any tips,
