Hi folks,

Thanks for your enlightening talks last evening Mark and Mitchell - and 
for the ipaq pda windfall Simon!

Now I am itching to install Linux - lots of howtos on handhelds.org etc. 
But the question is battery and power options -

1) Sourcing Compaq's specified power adaptor will take work or $.  And 
to think landfills and recycle bins likely have lots of them. <sigh>

With the appropriate soldered connector, would a surplus computer power 
supply deliver the specified 5vdc and 2A current?

2) Ipaq batteries on ebay run 10 $ and that again from usa suppliers.

So does anyone want join in on an order, assuming that will save on 
shipping?

Any and all advice and suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

  John Clarke

Your sbc workshop in the new year Mark looks like it will be lots of fun.
