As I guess nobody mentioned this yet, Apple made an adapter series for the
Newton power adapter to allow it to work worldwide - as a bonus IIRC they
affixed to the newton power pack with a screw so the adapter would not get
lost.
The FAQ lists part numbers for some of these - start here:
http://hometown.aol.com/thisolnewt/index2.html click on FAQ in LHS menu,
scroll down and click on Part II, scroll down and click on '2.) Where..' ,
scroll down to the last section of part numbers titled 'Parts for all Newton
Products'. It should be either one of the first 3, or one of the last 3 (all
of which are 'right angle'). (As with all things, combing through the FAQ is
THE place to start).
You can use some of these Apple part numbers, and call an Apple dealer who
is able/willing to order the part for you.
Can someone who has purchased the adapter set for the 2k series add the
official Apple number to this discussion (& FAQ?) ?
