Olivetti D33 1991 386 Retro PC Laptop Tour and Repair
I fixed up a 30 year old Olivetti D33 Laptop AKA the Triumph Adler Walkstation.
The best bits are all on video, or scroll down for a gallery and links to other resources for this (barely) laptop.
The most important bit was the pinout for the PSU DB-9 connector.
Pin 1 should be at 21V and pins 2, 4, 9 should be grounded.
I’ll check back with scans of the manuals and disk images when I get the chance.
Update: Customer diagnostics disk images below:
