[SPARCbook] Ultrabook I Power Supply Question

Your first, worst problem will be getting the plug (unless you have it
from a dead power supply?)  These are non-standard as far as I can tell.

If you're 100% sure you can't find a replacement power supply and found a
generic one with the same voltage and at least the same wattage, you could
desolder the existing plug and solder on a new one.

You'll need a power supply that's 18V, 6.5A, 120Watts.  I think the
Sparcbook power supply won't do.  Not enough amperage there.

Memory isn't going to be easy to find either - these are made only for
Ultrabooks.  They're non-standard as far as I can tell, and expensive.

Hard drives - you can live with an external scsi one maybe.
