since mce has been kind enough to state the output voltage and current (something apple kept a mystery to make things difficult), you could probably get the same thing for half the mce price from digikey.com assuming you can determine the size of the adapter (it's in mm, but with a good ruler, calipers, or by dragging it into radio shack and comparing it to their replacements you should be able to determine the size). there is still a question of polarity, but that may be marked on the powerbook or adapter, or could be determined with a meter, the ground (whether the post or the spring finger) should be the same ground as on any of the connectors on the back or any exposed metal on the back of the power book, or you could check the battery polarity, and test between where the battery minus goes and the power jack, QED.
