Ditto here. I just loaded some 760ED's last week, and I was using (gasp!) 700 adapters in them. They all seemed to work fine. I would not recommend using them for long term use (the batteries will probably go bad fairly quickly), but if just need to plug in to work, I say go for it. Funny story from IBM. One of our ordering people was trying to get replacement batteries for some 750's. IBM said to use the ones from the 755's we have. We argued with them that they were the wrong shape, and had different connectors. They still held that they were the same. We finally won the arguement. I took a battery from a 750, and one from a 755, layed them in a copier, and made a photocopy of them. Then I faxed the order for the new batteries and the photocopy to the manager I was arguing with. He said 'Oh, those batteries!'. Not the sharpest crayon in the box.
