There was a RamCharger/RamKeeper for sale on Ebay about a month or two
ago, and it was the first one I'd seen in years. Someone snatched it
up with BuyItNow for about $85 as I recall (but it might have been
$125 - I don't recall exactly.) I might have picked it up for $40, but
not at that price.

This device would have really made life easier for me back in school,
but recent times have gotten me thinking: a generic AC/DC "wall wart"
transformer should be able to supply whatever voltages the RamFactor
needs to keep it going, so you could at least keep a RamFactor filled
up after powering down a computer. You could then plug the Wall Wart
into a UPS so its battery could probably keep a RamFactor filled up
for at least an hour or two.

The connector doesn't look that exotic on the RamFactor, so what we'd
really need is the voltages for that connector. I guess I can look in
my RamFactor book, but I don't recall ever seeing the voltages on it.
Maybe someone else has...
