I've seen two types of Atom power supply. One was roughly the same shape 
as a BBC B's, but black and with a short cable with a DC plug on the 
end. The other was an inline black plastic 'cube' containing the 
transformer - I had an identically shaped one with my Dragon 32, many 
moons ago.

I sent some pictures to 8BS of my Atom collection - an original box can 
be seen in there. Looking at the "See BBC Bits -> Computers" page on 8BS 
I notice that lots of other people have sent in suitable pictures, too.

Cheers,

Kris.
