A friend of mine is running FreeBSD on his Libretto 50. He removed the
built-in IDE HD and used an adapter to plug it into his desktop
machine, installed the OS and put the HD back in the Libretto. This
all happened because apparently Toshiba had trouble satisfying the
demand for floppy drives at the time.

Many of the Notebooks sold have power supplies that can be fed with
almost anything from 100V-250V.
