Howdy, folks!
Well, I've got a spare 'UFO'-style power adapter from my (clamshell) iBook/300... and my good friend has a PowerBook G3/500/Firewire with a dead AC box (the older rectangle style one)... Could her PowerBook use my iBook adapter? They're both rated at 45 watts, and seem to have the same shape/size/style plug, so I'd guess they'd be compatible, but I figured I'd ask here before I plug it in and watch smoke pour out the back of her sweet PB.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,

The rule for PowerBook adaptors: if it fits, then it's compatible.
