This is what I was told. But like I said it comes from a friend of a friend, so there is ample room for misunderstandnings. Since we last talked I have seen pictures of the adaptors. One is for 90W and the other 70W. Both have a small window where digital numbers seems to indicate a current voltage. At least it displays 16.0. I have pictures of both top and bottom. There are no signs of switches on the power unit itself. Actually they don't seem as small in footprint as my friend first said on the phone, but probably are very thin/flat. They have a printed sticker saying 12V/15V/16V/18.5V/19.5V/20V/24V. Lars Stockholm

Sounds very interesting Lars. I for one would be very interested in learning more about it. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 701G4 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows XP SP2 (quit Windows updates back in May 2009)

I don't think it's any different than the Targus units, in which the interchangeable tips select the voltage, polarity and connector.
