[comp.sys.apple] Apple //c Power supply

guillaum@shiva.trl.oz (andrew guillaume) (02/27/90)

I have a //c with an Apple LCD screen, and would like to use it when
I'm travelling around, in my car (and thus make good use of wasted time
at traffic lights :-). Could someone tell me if :
1) is it Ok to just connect my //c's internal power supply to 12V via
   the cigarette lighter plug ?
2) as I guess I'll have to make a special cable, what is the din
   connector pin-out for the power socket ?

Thanks for the info.

P.S.: I would have sent this message to comp.sys.apple2, but I couldn't
      wait :-)

In the latest issue of Popular Science (the one on the newstands anyway) in the
"What's New?" columns, they have an adapter that plugs into your car's
cigarette lighter and has a standard power plug on the other end.  I don't
remember if it had a ground though, and I don't know if it would be a good idea
to use your //c with it.  Check with the manufacturer.
