Hey man, thanks a lot for talking with me about this its totally appreciated.

It doesn't look like it includes anything else, no bag unfortunately and no adapter. It does have a RAM expansion card and 5 MB total. It does have the original battery but unknown if that works either. The batteries I suppose are hard to come by as well, especially in working condition for such an old unit. Can anything be done about that or do most people usually run it without the battery?

So using a power adapter that is the correct voltage but higher amperage would not be good? I had thought the unit would draw only as much power as it needed as long as the amperage as the same or more and if the voltage was a dead match, that's not completely true?

I suppose these computers had a pretty bad capacitor problem then? I have some of my machines logic boards recapped and some others are currently running ok in original condition. For these old portables you would recommend just going ahead and doing it before anything it was that bad eh?

Ya eBay prices and realistic prices are on two totally different planets, some people are asking $400-500 for Portables right now and some are in unknown condition or in need of service condition, not cheap.
