Hi all, I don't actually have one for sale, but I wanted to pass on another possibility, although it might be too expensive. A while back I bought a battery pack which runs the thinkpad about 6 hours from 1-800-Batteries for about $189. It came with a DC power cord for the TP701 as well as an AC-to-DC adapter. So these are the possibilities: (1) You could buy a power pack from them, or (2) You could buy a DC power cord (there must be more than one company making these things) and use it with either (a) your car or (b) buy an ac-to-dc adapter. I think you might be able to do this for around $100.
