I used to have the computer he was referring to in the
original post, a
Zenith MastersPort SX and it's AC adapter was an inline variety. Cords
on both ends. I never would have guessed it being called a wart.
Having never seen the transformer/power supply/wart/whatever, I didn't know
it was of the inline variety.
Does anyone have the specs on this thing???

I have one of these at home, I'll take a look and then post the answer. I
do recall that the power cord that plugs into the laptop has a simple
coaxial plug. This turns out to be a common point of failure since it is
very easy to break the power connection by bumping the plug while it is in
the jack. The jack is soldered to a pc board in the laptop and is not very
strong mechanically.

It turns out I have two Zenith Data Systems 'SuperSport' labtops, one is an
8088 model and the other is a 80386/SX 16 (I think), the last one is called
a 'SuperSport SX'. They use the same external power supply, 16.5 VDC 2.5
amps.
