Hi! I just got a MiniSport 2 and didn't get any docs with it. Pending getting them from Zenith, I have a few questions about the machine: 1) Are the lithium batteries in it "standard," in that they can be bought at random stores, or are they proprietary? Does anyone have a good source? 2) The 2" disks *are* proprietary, and someone here posted a mail-order source for them not too long ago. At the time I thought "how quaint!"; now I'm pleading to get the info...! 3) How exactly does the battery/adaptor work? What I'm most concerned with is running the machine from AC--will this try to charge the battery (meaning I should wait until it's dead, right?), or does it only chanrge when the machine is off or the battery removed? 4) Does anyone know of a good third-party internal modem? I can get Zenith's for a bit over $200, but if I can save a bit I'd like to... Thanks in advance for any info or helpful stuff. So far, I like it--though even 6 lbs is a bit too heavy to haul around class to class. I'll use my PC4 for that! Aaron Wallace
