I just read the article on NiCads in the Tech Ref section of the BBS by Tracy
Allen.  I think Rich is right that the AC adaptor plugged into a live line will
NOT recharge any NiCad or other battery you put in the M100 or M102 unless you
do a little rewiring which I know some club members have done, (but as Rich
suggests, the performance of AA NiCads in your Model-T is not recommended).  On
the other hand remember that you have NiCads built into the Model-T as your
backup power and if I read Tracy's article correctly, these BUILT-IN NiCads are
recharged through the AA batteries OR the AC when plugged into a live line.
