IF the + symbol is indeed connected to the center dot with a line, then the post ( or the hole in the plug barrel ) is positive.
Just because a capital "C" faces right, doesn't mean the positive symol is on the right, and connected to the center dot, on Fabian's power adaptor. Yes, it LOOKS that way in his diagram, but he has not confirmed that. Incidentally, I have been repairing consumer electronic items for over twenty years now, and I have found that there is no "standard" for polarity on power plugs. About half of those I've encountered have been hot (+) on the pin, and half hot on the barrel. You cannot assume that the center post is positive. Find out for certain, before plugging in an adaptor. On a DC power adaptor, polarity IS important. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
