I've been using the MacAlly adapter with my 700MHz white iBook for a 
few months. and it works just fine. The model number is AP5024 and is 
supposed to work with the iBook and PowerBooks. The only thing that it 
doesn't have is the ring around the plug that glows orange when 
charging and turns green when charged. The only way you tell what this 
one is doing is to check the menubar to see progress. Hope this helps.
