Huh?
Different voltage and different connectors.   The iBook uses 24V, the 
PB520 uses, IIRC, 16V.  It's possible the PB520 would be okay with 
this but I wouldn't risk it myself.  The PB520 uses the 4 pin 
connector only used on the PB5X0 series.  It has separate operating 
and charging circuits.    While maybe you could make it work it would 
be a royal pain and risky.

I'm completely certain that the power supply for your iBook will *not*
work with a PB520.
