<What exactly is a PX-8? BTW, I have a Mac Portable, which I got because it
PX-8 aka geneva is a z80 based CP/M portable circa 1984.
<few seconds, it worked. The battery is dead now, though. I use another AC
<adapter for the battery, as well as the normal one. That thing eats power!
<your battery is alive and mine died, god only knows.
Well I've had to replace the cells due to age based failure. The CPU is
a CMOS z80 and uses very little power, combine that with no backight LCD,
no hard drive (uses ramdisk or microcassette) the power consumption is
extremely light. FYI the two week limit was not for lack of battery but
the fact that nicads self discharge and would be dead within 30 days if not
charged.
The nicads used for PX-8 are real cheap I got a set of 4 cells for $10 new.
