Overview

At last a small lightweight power supply for your Z88.

The Z88 does not physically switch to the power supply when being powered externally. Power from the internal batteries will only be saved if this power supply is used.The reason behind this is the Z88 runs on 6v, ( 4 x AA 1.5v batteries). A diode is used in the external supply circuit which drops the voltage by 0.8v. If the normal 6.5v Z88 Mains adapter is used for example, the voltage across the batteries will be

6.5 – 0.8 = 5.8v.

The batteries in the Z88 will be discharging until they reach 5.8v. This is about half their charge. The Universal Power Supply has an output voltage of 7v. This gives 6.2v across the batteries which ensures that they hold their charge.

When the Z88 came out the Mains adapters were built using large and heavy transformers, forcing users to either leave them at home or having two supplies, one for home and the other at work. This power supply is the modern lightweight equivalent .

Use it either in the USA, Europe or anywhere in the world.

Z88 Mains Adapter[Mains Adapter image]

  Save your batteries whilst working at home with this 220v 2 - pin mains adapter.

The 2 pin Euro plug can be cut off allowing an ordinary 13A UK (or any other) plug to be fitted if desired.

Weight 550g

Z88 MAINS ADAPTOR Plate Input 240v AC 50Hz Output 6.5v DC 500mAIf you want to use a different power supply it must be regulated and have an output of 6.8v to 7.2v with the positive pin being in the middle.

If you don't want to open it and you have a spare earphone, put that across the power output. If it buzzes like mad, it is unregulated, if you can't hear much of a sound it is either not connected, or it is regulated.

Ram Packs

Using Ram Packs with your Z88.

[ image: Z88 with RAM pack]

Inserting the RAM pack into Slot 1 of the Z88

The Z88 comes with 32K RAM 'built-in' memory. This is used both as working memory and for storing files.

 

The Z88's memory can be expanded in 32K, 128K or 1M byte blocks by inserting a RAM Pack.

A 1M RAM Pack has enough room for around 200 typed A4 pages.

If power is lost, through the batteries going flat or if an application crashes, any files that or stored in RAM or unsaved current work may be lost.

1M Low Power RAM Card

This uses a modern static RAM chip which gives the following advantages:-

  • 1M RAM
  • Low Power
  • Longer battery life.
This is a RAM pack.
If removed, a HARD reset is required
