Hi, Although not yet 10y old ......... And no big Iron ....... I Got a DEC 325SL Laptop (386SL 4MB Mono-LCD) from a friend to fix but .... the poweradapter got lost. I dunno if the batteries are still alive but I want to give it a try. Does any body know: 1 The adapter output voltage? 2 The max. current the adapter must supply? 3 The polarity of the output ? (It's got a female powerjack connection "(o)"style) If I can get it working, I might try to install Linux ;=) Anybody got any hints on this?
