The power socket on my 1.25GHz Boko has been playing up for a while and
decided to fail today :-(

Questions - what's the easiest method to get the data off the HD?

Put someone else's battery into it, and get off all the data while you
can.

Will it work temporarily in an older 1GHz Boko?

Perfectly.

Can it be shoved in an external enclosure (I've got plenty of dead LaCie
firewire drives around the studio)?

Yes, but you will need a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adaptor.

What should I replace the Boko with? Everybody seems to be whining about
the MacBook Pro and I've missed all the WWDC gossip because I was on
holiday

A really good road bicycle.
