Re: ac supply

You could try searching on Ebay.

I just found a short adapter cable from the square (rectangular) power
plugs to the previous 8mm diameter round plugs, and also an adapter to
go the other way.   Cost a few dollars only, from China.   There are all
manner of adapters on Ebay. I did see some right-angle adapters but I'm
not sure what they were for.

I can't recommend any specific search terms, but 'adapter' 'power
cable', 'Thinkpad' or a combination  might be a start.   Just try
typing into the Ebay search box and see what comes up.   That's how I
found my adapters.
