Subject: Oddball PB1xx adapter?

Recently, an acquaintance told me that when the early PowerBooks (145,
170,
165, etc.) were in popular use, a third-party manufacturer made a
"battery-sized" AC adapter that would go right in where the NiCad
battery
pack would fit, and used just a standard thin laptop-style AC cord.
Does
anyone remember this? And if so, has anyone seen one available
recently?
Don't know for the "early" types you mention (in fact, the 100, 140,
170 were earlier still), but I got something like such a beast for my
190cs, it came from VST and I found it was a pretty clever thing as it
resolved the broken DC input issue and made the external brick
obsolete at the same time. But wait a minute - was it really in the
battery bay? I don't have the thing handy as it's still hidden
somewhere from moving my study, but ISTR the PS/charger went in the
frontmost right bay: second battery bay? Drive, Zip or floppy bay?
Somebody will chime in and make this clear I'm sure. I'll be right back
when I made sure for myself.
Have fun, OM
