I also picked up a Toshiba T1200 laptop yesterday. The battery has no charge, and I couldn't find the power supply, so I don't know if it works yet. The battery pack has a switch on it. What is this for? Currently it is switched to show red. What is the polarity of the 12V DC connector on the back of the machine? -- Doug Spence ds_spenc(a)alcor.concordia.ca http://alcor.concordia.ca/~ds_spenc/
