Today, I am testing the CPU solution
I got a converter 24V to 12V from Maplin to power the CPU and other 12V devices. It is a switched converter. it is more efficient than a simple LM7812 regulator and i can get much more power out of it.
So now, I can power up the CPU, and LCD screen to install Windows. After some simple test, I can also leave the battery charger on all the time. That's good news as I can leave the CPU on while charging the battery.
The bad news it that my LCD monitor has been damaged during all these years in storage. There is a big patch of dead pixels. That will do for now, but I may have to find another one :-)
