MD: AC Adapter

2000-02-06 Thread Gordon A Simpson
I'm in the UK and I have a Japanese model Sharp 821. I bought this about 8 months ago from Electronics Shopping Mall together with a Newstar NF-60 AC adapter (220v to 100v). I also have the Sharp adapter (AD-MD1AP 100v to 5v) which I assume comes as standard with the Japanese models.

Is there any way to hook up my sony Mz-R55 to my keyborad to name the songs??? No. The closest thing you can get is to reverse engineer the Sony remote protocol and to do PART of the titling from a computer, but it won't be extremely easy to construct. It does require a bit of programming

Does anyone know where in the UK I can source a replacement adapter (i.e. 3-pin plug to 2-pin socket, 240v to 100v)? Better still, is the Sharp adapter for UK models (ADT20APE I think) available to purchase separately? Any AC adapter that's rated for 4.5v to 5.5v at 700mA to around 900mA
