Just so no one passes out, no I did not hook up 6 vdc to my beauty 5300CS
(it gets a factory Apple unit).

I would appreciate any "hot tips" on the connector polarity for the HX-20.
Also I was serious about the generic aspect, ie should I hunt down the real
thing or will Radio Shack work fine (not really the Rat Shack since I have
boxes now of different adapters)?
