Hi. I've recently acquired an original Macintosh Portable, without any of
the accompanying paraphenalia, most notably the AC adapter. I'm currently
hunting for a PowerBook 1xx adapter, which I'm told is usable with the
Portable, but in the meantime, I'm looking for other ways to fire up this
new Mac to check it out.
According to the specs, the Portable AC adapter is 1.5 amps at 7.5 volts,
center positive.
I have one of those "universal" AC adapters that can do 7.5 V, but only 300
mA. If I plug in this adapter to the Portable, will the internal battery
eventually obtain a usable charge (assuming it's not totally dead, as so
many are)?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
