In addition to have physically incompatible connectors and jacks, the power
requirements for the new PowerBooks are different than the old PowerBook so,
unless you would heavily modify the Audio/Power board, that wouldn't work,
methinks, and could potentially be harmful to your old PowerBook.
The 12 PowerBook has a 45W supply. The iBook 12 does as well, and
the 14 one (I think, I only have a 12 PB).
The 65W adaptors work fine on the 45W machine - they both supply 24
volts, and should be just the same.

prices - but looks like I might be smarter to go for 512 since I have

always worked beautifully for me - except for the OEM DVD-ROM drive which
has never worked
