No joy here in Schipol on the DC/DC adapter. Only thing in the electronics shops are the Kennsington and Targus ones. They don't have connectors that will fit my proprietary Dell and IBM sockets.
Might fit my Compaq, but it's out of action until I can figure out if the arbitrary halting problem is in the battery pack or the charging circuit.
Time's running out on the "Communications Centre" terminal, so gotta go.
