Blue box

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.

Bother!

I have to admit that I'd never tried them in my Qube2 - I was simply handed them, and told that they were the right kind. And when the Qube2 I acquired turned up it was already fully stocked, so there was never any need to try. I don't think I'd even taken them out of the anti-stat.

Ah well. If you want them back, let me know, otherwise I'll try and find a home for them in this part of the world. Maybe they'll fit [livejournal.com profile] naath's PC.

There's no point in sending them back - I have too much stuff already, and no machines to put them into. Best to see if you can find someone, like [Unknown site tag], who can use them.
