[NTLK] Newton Power Adapters

["Piotrowski Paweł (Newton)"]

Dan, I have 3 different power adapters:

- Apple Newton Power Adapter H2200 - 7V/0.5A
- VOLTEX - 7V/0.5A
- Apple Newton 9W Power Adapter H0165 - 7.5V/1.2A

I never meet 5V adapter. So, I’m still confused.

7V and 7.5V is not big difference. But 5V?





Best regards,
Pawel Piotrowski
