Most people seem to think the brick is actually superior to the YoYo. As I understand it, the Wallstreet bricks (the small ones) run hot, but aren't a problem if reasonable care is taken. OTOH, the YoYo adapters have a habit of failing from stress at the point where the cord enters the hub. (I personally have one which has failed such that it will power but not recharge the battery of a Pismo.) The adapter interface was pretty much standard all the way back to the Duo 210 (except for the 1x0 series, 500-series and 190/5300 PowerBooks). As long as you stay to a minimum wattage (45?) any of them should work with a Pismo. John
