I genuinely have no idea, you would certainly think so, wouldn't you? It's 
definitely centre-negative (given it works on the Diconix supply which is 
the same). I do actually have several 16.5V supplies from other old 
laptops, but I'm seriously hesitant to throw something that may be too 
high into it when it appears to identify itself as "12V" - regardless, 
it's another data point, thank you very much.

I suppose I should open it up and inspect the PCB for any identifying 
markings, but I'm off to San Diego for work for the next few days and I 
don't want to take it to bits and not have the time to properly clean it 
up and put it back together again before I go... the memory isn't good 
enough to be confident I'll remember how it went together a week later :)

Cheers!
