This could well be what I end up doing. Why can't these people pick a
standard and stick with it. There's enough variations on these damn things
as it is without somoeone coming along and making another. Grrr ...

In a similar situation (not a notebook) I remember using bits of wire,

use a power connector into the XPS that's only slightly larger than an
egg-cup and it seems to be completely unknown to any supplier this side of
anywhere. I've a PSU from Sony that's the right voltage but I can't find an
adaptor to make it fit. If anyone has any thoughts that might help me out in
(checks watch) less than 58:50, I'd be indebted.
