Hi,
I found an Epson PX-8 with an Epson PF-10 floppy drive, and a special piggy back kind of add on called Epson Multi Unit 64(which appears to add a modem... and get's it's power from the PX-8 ) about a month or so ago.
I was able to find some new AC adaptors that meet the ratings on these things at RadioShack(cost more than the computer and drive)... the floppy drive's power light comes on...
But the computer shows no signs of life... It has ROM's in all exposable sockets, and the battery pack in too.
Does this thing need a good battery pack to run at all?
Pictures can be found here:

note: at time of posting the site isn't responding... but that is the correct url... eventually it should work... as long as things havn't gone completely belly up.
