I just checked through the archived snatches I've made on the 'Bay and figured out that the M5651 (APS20U) was sent to me after the eBay'd "Working" PB150 arrived w/o an AC Adapter. It's the only one of the three that has an insert for the AC plug, so it's likely an international version.

I've condensed the 100 Series AC Adapter info in the Apple table into what I think is a clearer picture. If it's unclear or an error is spotted, please LMK. I think a special topic needs to be posted with all the relevant information for Apple products with this particular DC Jack on board.

Code:
table formatting:

\ ->Replacement for all three adapters above - M4662 - (?)V - (apparently) works with:

WILD CARD - APS-17adp - 17W - PowerBook 150 - works with - 100, 150
***** Warning: Using an AC adapter that produces more than 19 W with a PowerBook 100 or 150
***** will damage the computer's logic board.
That last warning appears to be at odds with the information about the PowerBook 100 being compatible with M4462, BTW. I'm thinking that the M4462 must have a proper power regulation implementation found lacking in earlier adapter designs.

What model power adapters are bundled with the PB150s the rest of you comrades have handy here in the barracks?

The replacement part for the PowerBook 150 AC Adapter is listed as 922-1117 in the Service Source, gotta check the rest . . .

edit: forgot the other wild card . . .

Macintosh Portable Power Adapter = Model No: M5163 (SMP-10BB) = 7.5V x 1.5A = 11.5W

. . . so I'm also wondering about the proposition:

IF [PB100 + M4462 = OK] THEN [Macintosh Portable(s) + M4462 = OK] :?:
