Unless you insist on an operating system solution what you are really 
after is a 5 volt supply. What about buying a mains USB charger of the 
right capacity, or if you are handy with bits of wire have a look 
through all those old power supplies for a 5 volt one? Or even use the 5 
volt supply from inside your computer (if it is a desktop not laptop)
