I bought my laptop (HP Omnibook 800CT - P166MMX, 48Mb, 1.2Gb) for £200
with external floppy, port replicator and CDROM from Scott Associates
in Newbury.

Their website is http://www.scottassociates.co.uk/

The website is always out of date - they don't seem to realise
updating the stock list is actually useful, but it gives you some
ideas.
Give them a ring - it's much easier than anything else. 

Probably a little out of your way, but I'm sure they could send the
kit to you. 

Again, they did have some Toshiba and Dell numbers for 450-700 quid -
but eventually it gets to the point where you may as well get a new
one...

Cheers

Baz.
