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.

More RAM can hardly hurt though so 'yes please' assuming I don't discover it's fully loaded already - more details when I've had more time to look inside.

I was thinking NetBSD rather than Linux...

Actually, looking inside the Qube, and in the anti-stat bag, I see that it's two sticks.

And yes, BSD is an alternative. I've considered puting one of each on different disks (I seem to have a sufeit of discs at the monent). Anything but the RedHat mostrosirty Cobalt shipped, really.
