Auto adapter for T42

#1 Post by dalee18 » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:56 am

I'm leaving for a week long car trip tomorrow and at the last minute I've decided if I can find a good auto adapter for my T42 I'd like to get one. Obviously it has to be a retail store since I don't have time for an online order to get here.

My main questions are:

a) does anyone have a specific model to recommend?
b) a lot of the ones I've seen are only rated to 70 watt output - am I correct that this will not work for my T42, which has a 72 watt power supply?
c) I would possibly consider an inverter if people had one that they heartily recommended but I would really prefer an adapter designed specifically for laptops.


I'm looking most closely at this one: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/tec ... ku=TPA90DC

Anyone have experience with it?
Thanks

I bought this product from radio shack for my last notebook and it seemed to work fine for the t42. Just use the white plug and turn the nob to 16V. Plus you can pick it up at any radio shack.
