I'm a huge fan of vintage Apple devices, and just got my hands on an iBook G3. It didn't come with a power adapter, but it has what really looks like a docking connector on the back. However I surprisingly haven't been able to find anything online about that connector.

Does anyone here have any info about that docking connector? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not a docking connector: charging contacts.

See page 29 of the service manual here: http://www.applerepairmanuals.com/the_manuals_are_in_here/iB...

(No third-party charger that used them was ever released AFAICT.)

Amazing, thanks for that link! Do you have any idea how I could figure out what voltage to provide?
