Indeed, I did check eBay. But being sure that what I find is exactly what I need is not easy. Most sellers do not bother to list the output, nor do they show a picture of the plug. And the two that do offer adapters with the same model number as mine ask upwards of $200. It is also becoming clear to me that this power adapter has some smarts, perhaps accounting for the extra two connectors; also possibly explaining the cost. What the smarts do I have yet to discover. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
