Thanks for all the responses, a few comments to make things a little clearer in what seems a big mess.

I have to AC adapters. One is the original, which plugs only into the US wall socket, the second is what they call the world-wide adapter, which has a special sunken plug to which various cords may fit. On both it is written that they take an input voltage of 110V-240V; 50/60. meaning *both* can theoretically be used all over the world, it's just the quesion of connecting. >alternatively, assuming you have the intelligent power pack, you can probably >buy a computer power cord in any country you go to for not that much. the end >that goes into the power pack is universal; the end that goes into the wall >will vary by country you are in. That's my question. I have never seen universal cords that would plug into the IBM adapter. I thought they are only made by IBM. Does this kind of plug have a name?

It cost about $ 5. The 4H6908, which I was told is European by one IBMer, fits actually the US socket, so it can't be good for europe. It cost's less than $ 2. I did not buy the 6906, which one IBMer called it Asia Pacific, and the other one said it was for Europe, was supposed to cost more than $14, if it is indeed the European poer cord, the price is outrageous. ------------- Gabriel Ash Notre-Dame -------------
