I'm just fishing for any info anyone has. I mean, ideally, one of y'all ended up with a box of adapters wondering where all the laptops are - more likely the recyclers cut the cords off for copper.
Anyway, I've discovered that all search engines I've tried can either find no information or are just so aggressively dumb they're not capable of understanding their own advanced options anymore - all the responses are for newer, different voltage adapters. I've noticed that search engines seem to be less use every year. I mean, it's not like they have an incentive to send you to anyone but advertisers anyway.
Early Toshiba Satellite laptops had 9v (center positive male on laptop) power adapters. The later ones were apparently 18V. I have several early laptops. I don't have good information on amperage.
My "universal" adapter has the right connector but only goes down to 12V.
I have the awful feeling I'm going to have to build a power supply from scratch. I guess it's about time to build a proper bench supply.
I have a few different models, the ones in front of me are T1000 and T1100.
Edit: The T1000 and T1100s are 9V, there's a T1200 that's 13.5V with an odd 2-pin connector (like a smaller standard consumer electronics keyed 2-pin), a T4400 is 21V with a connector with 4 tiny pins in a row - I think these people just hated the future, that's all.
*Too* *many* *things*!
