You'll need a 15v supply, not 12v. I can't plough my way through the Maplin site - it doesn't format properly on my browser - but any of the switch-mode 15v 2a supplies will work. It must be regulated though, not one of the 'transformer and two diodes' types. > >Where would be the best place, what sort of price please (I'm in the UK) >(model number?) (nothing on eBay at the moment)? Heh. Can't access the site at present, but I'd guess from �30-60 depending on spec.

(wasn't it?) The 50 was supplied with W95 or W95b. It can be a little slow with w98 - e.g. it won't play mp3 without stuttering, though 95 will. On the other hand, there are shutdown problems sometimes with msgsvr32.exe in 95. 98 has a much quicker shutdown. > >Lastly, rather than taking the Mini port extender with me when we are >out on our motorcycle / camping trips, I thought about using a PCMCIA to >Serial card to provide a COM: port.?
