Blue box

[ewx]

I appear to have acquired a Cobalt Qube. It's very pretty, but currently useless as it's not got a mains adapter. Assuming for the time being that the person I got it off does't pipe up and say they found it, I'm going to have to either buy one (from where?) or bodge some other power supply into service (something for which I have no relevant experience).

So far I've found someone repurposing an HP adapter, a description of the pins and a picture of the missing object.

Dunno if it's any help, but Cobalt were bought out by Sun a few years back so a Sun dealer might have an old adaptor lying around.

The Cobalt software is now open sourced: http://bluequartz.org/

That Cobalt software is only for the i386-based Qube/Raq 3 and above models, not the earlier MIPS-based QUBE & RAQ models.
