I managed to get one from Insight Direct. I have mixed impressions of Insight service but they did get the thing here. It's a slim adapter, P/n 12J1447 FRU P/N 12J1448. It says in the instruction booklet that it works with various models of 760 but doesn't list the 755cx; however the salesperson said it supported the 755 series and in fact I'm using it and it works. What I'm wondering is about the AC cord, which is a flat, fairly thick 3-wire cord with a weird 3-pin connector (*not* a standard IEC cord) that plugs into the pack. This cord is kind of bulky and partly defeats the purpose of a compact adapter. I had kind of remembered seeing a 2-conductor cord on my friend's 365xd adapter, which otherwise looks similar. Was I imagining things? Do any of those adapters use a 2-conductor cord? This adapter in any case is a pretty big improvement over what I used to have... Thanks again Paul
