   The Nomad wants to see 9 - 10 vdc at about a 1/2 ampish, positive on the   
   pin.  It will work fine with 7.2, and will work but be glitchy at 6 ish.  I   
   would not try to use one of the newer switching power supplies with the   
   multiple outputs.  The switching noise from cheap adapters could cause odd   
   problems on occasion.  It's my experience that a 1200 mah battery lasts   
   about 2 and a half hours or so.  The display is one of the nicer ones out   
   for it's vintage.  I don't remember if it's TFT or not.
