TI>I'm trying to build an AC adaptor for my 85.  I have an adaptor that outputs
TI>6V DC (which is what the 6 AAA batts output) but it outputs that at (I think
TI>300mA.  How do I reduce that to the level that the calc needs?  I've tried

TI>terminals.  It will turn on and not lose the memory, but the screen is

TI> I need to put in something to reduce the amps, but I'm not sure what.
