Uses a standard Camcorder battery which is still available new today, more than 20 years later. The website above doesn't mention that 60MB and 80MB hard drives were also available. Oh, and there's a mouse port on the keyboard (MS Bus Mouse), in case one doesn't want to use the isopoint pointing device. BTW, there's a battery in the keyboard, and it won't power on if the keyboard battery is flat. I wonder how many of these got thrown out because the keyboard battery went flat and a second owner didn't know about it. The somewhat odd keyboard battery is perfectly replaceable by a pair of 'N' cells. Not selling one, just wanted your reference to be complete....
