I hope I'm not out of line here, but if I paste a link to where you can
order batteries and adapters for the Epson PX-8, and it isn't acceptable
on the list, please delete my post.
I got my PX-8, and the replacement batteries from this site. They
aren't the cheapest in the world, but I didn't fee
Can you send more info about those packs? Url? Etc. off the list is fine

John,
On the old Commodore SX-64s, the cards inside may need to be reseated. Common
issue with them (including mine when I received it from eBay).
See if it helps.

Christopher,
I too have an Epson PX-8 "Geneva". No, they will not run off of the

I have both a PX-8 and a PX-4, and I /believe/ they run straight off power

If you can't get an answer let me know and I can experiment for you, both
are in a box in my room at home easily at hand. They both have ramdisks
attached as well.

I've got one of these too. They are similar to the Mac Portable. They
run off of the rechargable battery, which you can plug in to recharge.
If the builtin rechargables are dead, it's difficult to impossible to
get it to turn on. My PX8 needs to be plugged in overnight, and even
then it isn't rel
Thanks, John!

That's a shame; there's a pretty good list of diagnostic tests somewhere; I'll
see if I can find it.

Hahaha that's great! Coincidentally, my sister sent me this video this morning,
it's along the same lines as the story you just shared.

Random question fellow M100 users,
While I'm sorting out getting my REX to work, I thought I'll look at some
games and wondered if they ever released any text adventure games like Zork?
