Couple pics of the adafruit setup. https://photos.app.goo.gl/N2v6iB45pePNFQNA8 The 32u4 is a much less powerful device, but just about perfect for doing the job of TPDD. The Teensy 3.5 & 3.6 are far more powerful, overkill for TPDD, BUT, perhaps really cool for a more feature-full device. The Teen

Yes, the M100/T102/200, TPDD 1 & 2, all the CRT-* CCR-* tape drives, all take the same 5.5x2.1mm size barrel connector, 6vdc, center negative. The only difference is some devices draw a few more milliamps than others, but none draws more than 400ma, so pretty much any adapter that outputs 500ma or

If they are missing their case screws, then that makes the machines highly suspect. It means people have been inside them before you, and essentially all bets are off. Anything could be going on, because you have no idea why someone else felt a need to go in there, or what they did while in there.

Nimh may be charged safely from nicd charging circuits, generally, and the low discharge rate from a M100 (IE: not a power tool) means discharge rate is no problem either, but avoid trickle charging for more than a day.
