AC Adapter and Carrying Cases

A few things to share with our fellow readers.

  1. 1. Power -- Apparently HP does not make a dual voltage AC adapter. They come as 120 volt or 220 volt.

Your Fall 1991 issue mentioned that the 95LX will take AC or DC 9V. I travel internationally with my Sony Discman which comes with a 9V universal voltage AC adapter. This adapter works great with the 95LX. Now I carry only one AC adapter for both the 95LX and the Discman.

  1. 2. Cases: When I bought my second 95LX in August, there was a Franklin ad in the HP 95LX box offering a leather carrying case for about $15. It has seemingly flimsy belt slots and I really did not expect it to last. I have been wearing the case daily for the past five months and there was no signs of tear in the slots. Leather and stitches are also very durable. The case is getting softer and better as I use it.
