Try restarting your machine with the extensions off (hold down the shift

You need a power adapter from one of the Powerbook 100 series - the adapter
for the Portable charges the battery which then in turn powers the Portable,
i.e. If the battery is not charged the portable won't run. Using a PB1xx
adapter gets round this limitation.

One other question comes to mind now. The PowerCD will also run off of 6 AA
batteries which are installed in the base. Why would it require 9v AC input
and be able to utilize DC cells with a combined output of 9 volts?

Well, what Janice says in one of the original messages (2nd below) indicates
a DC output, not AC. So polarity remains a major issue, along with voltage.

So, is negative what you mean by hot? Hot refers to AC, AFAIK.
