Passthru on an old computer?

Thanks NBrice..get the powerpack, got it!
The Home Depot thing..generators don't need to be plugged in, that's the point of a ginny. But if you are me..you can't resist pushing big red buttons! I didn't know it was gassed up and ready to start. We have one for hurricane season.
I am off to Radio shack with this thread. Thanks!!

O.K. I recieved the 901 passthru and went to Radio Shack, they are out of a lot of stock. The guy said the shipment was very late! Where have we heard THAT before? Anyway I went to Wall-mart and found this :Powerline Universal adapter with USB power port.
It has a switch on it that allows you to choose volts 3to 12 with 1300 mA or USB power. I set it on 4/5 and nothing slid it to USB setting and it works!
Now I have to figure out why the light on the pass thru stays lit sometimes and why my atty is sizzling and heating up on almost every puff. That makes me nervous so I have to unscrew. Ah well, I will get used to it in time.

Sounds like you got a sticky switch in your pass through Mary. Try blowing back into it when the light stays on. If you use it a while it may start working better. If it still stays on after you puff, blow in it, if still on, unplug it or unscrew or you will burn out your atomizer.
