Hopping in on this one....The adapter for my Duo 2300c will RUN my Pismo, but will not charge the battery. Not sure if this is a special case, or something that happens when the battery is completely depleted. I had thought that it would charge, albeit at a slower rate than the Yo-Yo adapter that ships with the Pismo (same as the i-book, right) F. > >Message-Id: <l03010002b6b1c7e86c2d@DialupEudora> >Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 09:57:24 -0800 >From: "Paul Nelson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Duo2400] Re: Power adapter ratings > >At 9:24 PM -0600 2/14/04, Thomas Ethen wrote: >>Then I guess my question is-What importance is the watt rating when you >>decide on an adapter?
