Ron, if you thinks it's dangerous to open your Atari and do so, I don't
think so... I don't think there's any high voltage in it... the other
question is if you can do damage to the system this way...
But if you really want to play safe, you can try to power the 2600 with
batteries... 7,2 volts and 300 mA should be enough (Now that's good for
camping...) Or has anyone tried a lower voltage? 8-)
With love (and many NC batteries at home... and even in my Sharp
calculator where they shouldn't be used...)
