[NTLK] Quick question on MessagePad 2100

My MessagePad 2100 only works on AC plug.
New AA batteries don't let it work off the plug.
Does this mean the backup batteries need replacing?
Thanks for your advice.

P.S. Have a Palm Vx, but Newton still is the best.

Me too. My HandEra 330 PalmOS clone has both a CF slot and an SD/MMC
card slot. Both are MS-DOS formatted "disks." I can put them in a card
reader or PCMCIA card adapter and pop 'em into my PC at work, my Mac
laptop, or into my digital camera (Canon S100). I can view the pictures
the camera took on my HandEra. I can copy Palm files onto the card and
then pop the card back in my HandEra and install them into RAM or just
run 'em directly from the card.

I can even use the card to transfer stuff between my PC to my Mac yet
still use it to hold and back up my HandEra data and camera photos.

I can pop out the CF card and use Ethernet, WiFi (AirPort), or many other
CF cards. I can use a 1GB IBM Microdrive.

A CF card is handy as hell.

And I still have the SD/MMC card slot for memory, for a BlueTooth card
soon, and other things eventually. The new Palm mXXX units have SD/MMC
card slots too, so you can exchange data with other Palm units that way
too.

A CF card slot would be the best choice in an Apple PDA. There are CF to
SD/MMC adapter cards available, too.
