My Psion 5 is packed away somewhere, but I'm reasonably sure there was
nothing special about the Psion power adapters. I know that I used to use
a standard, bought for a fiver in Argos, multi-power adapter to power my
series 3 machines and IIRC the series 5 used the same adapter as the 3s.

I really miss the Psion range, I just wish they had produced one with
modern connectivity before they pulled the plug. I'm reliably informed
that Psion were working on a bluetooth model but they decided to pull out
of the PDA market before it got to production :(

A Psion with bluetooth I'd probably still be using myself.
