Log

Got a suitable power supply, it uses M4895 or M4896 or compatible. I ordered a M4896 from the ebays \o/ and it works.
Put Opcode Open Music 2.3.8 on a CF card and tried installing it using a PCMCIA -> CF convertor
Dropped network driver for Etherlink III PCMCIA ethernet card from http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/mac/enet3c589/ in System folder but it doesn't seem to work with the card tested.

Turning it on

It doesn't (always) turn on properly. I've seen following working:

Fold screen open
Kill all the power, so remove battery and plug
Wait 'til green LED on screen is off
Put battery and power plug back in

Todo

Get some networking on it, either wired or wireless. It will most probably need drivers tho.
