Look on the Auto Adapter and see if it has an Output Voltage reading... if that voltage reading matches the required voltage reading for your PB, then your all set. Actually the different voltage readings will each have a different plug... the higher the voltage, the thicker the plug, so, theoretically, an auto adapter that supplies higher voltage than what you need won't plug into your PB becasue the plug will be too large. Likewise, one that doesn't put out enough voltage will likely be too small and will not fit properly in your Powerbook. Just becasue it plugs in, though is no gaurantee... check the voltages if you want to be safe. Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
