>How will a 3VDC 200mA AC adaptor work with the OmniGo 100?
Others have said that the more amps the better. 200mA might be a bit on the
low side. You must also
concern yourself with the fluctuations in voltage/current that are common
with some adaptors.

The formula is very straightforward. Watts = Volts * Amperes. mA = 1Ampere
divided by 1000. Likewise, mW = 1 Watt / 1000. Therefore, mW = Volts * mA.
For example, the OGO uses 3 Volts circuits.
Therefore 3 Volts * 200 mA = 600 mW. Clearly, your 200 mA power supply will
not be sufficient
to run a modem that sucks 700 mW of juice.
