The specs listed on the adapters are almost identical: Input 100-125/200-240V ~50/60Hz 1/.05(5)A Output 16V (TP560) 16.6V (TP510) 35W It *does* make sense, though, using adapters that would work on all models makes stocking the part a lot simpler, no? epbrown Stop by the Portable Computing Center for reviews, editorials, and the FAQ on laptop computers. http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown Laptops: Kiwi 680TX and IBM Thinkpad 560
