Re: Somewhat off topic: WTB: Old Laptop

["Peter D. Hipson" <mail@darkstar.mv.com>]

*if* there is nothing special about the 9V (such as a battery sense) then a
simple regulator supply will do it. I use a 12 to 120 inverter, which was
cheap and easy. (BTW, my notebook takes 18V, so it must be twice as fast as
yours, right? <g>)
