Before you even think about connecting an adapter to your calc, one word
of advice: don't connect the adapter to the link port. This would most
likely result in an erased memory at best, a fried calc at worst.
However, I'm sure it would be possible to replace the batteries by
running one adapter wire to a battery lead and the other to the other.
The only problem with this is that you would have to manually connect
each wire and remove the batteries every time you wanted to switch to
AC. If you had enough expertise, you could put a SPDT switch on the side
of the case to switch from battery power to AC power. You might even
also put a jack for the adapter on the calc. Any ideas on this?
