The idea was to see if the Gorse Fox could resurrect this beast with a Linux distro. Having finally found a distro that GF thought was worth trying he started the download and wandered off to loft to find the old laptop. Clearing the dust of the case and taking it back to the study GF was horrified to realise that he had obviously stored the power supply and plug somewhere "safe". As this is a fairly unique machine (codenamed Woodfield) is even had a special (20V) power socket - which meant that he couldn't use one of his many spares.
GF will have to root around some more in the loft tomorrow to see if he can find his "safe" hiding place.

I remember these - one of the guys had one when I worked in the labs (now that's making me feel old!). I'll ping you his details, he might still have it.
