Well that is neat.
It pulls two power supplies a + and a =3D off the ac line.
No you can not run this off of dc.
You can rewire it to run off of two dc batteries easy enough.
I can do that mod for you if you like Rob.

Subject: Re: Velcro Mounting?
Yes I have mixed feelings. It might only be appropriate
for carefully considered surfaces. I might be better
off using double-sided foam tape to attach my minidisc
to a plate that could then be attached by thumbscrews
or some sort of reliable quick-release. That would also
eliminate the need to apply torque to the unit every
time I remove it.
