Here's an interesting idea - I was wondering about getting another power adaptor for my powerbook, when I thought that maybe the ipod power adaptor would act as an a/c adaptor for the PB through the firewire port.

I was wondering if anyone knows if this is safe and would work without any damage to the powerbook

are you kidding?
putting current IN THROUGH the firewire port of your powerbook
ummmmmmmmm

i don't think so......
plain and simple, if you do this.... get ready to smell something burning inside your EXPENSIVE powerbook

no
no
and............
no

no offense intended

The firewire and usb ports may output power to external devices to charge them or power them (like a external harddrive or zip drive) but does not work in the reverse.

Perhaps get a second battery or see if there are external battery chargers available.
