Thank you for the offer but I was able to snag one on eBay. If I have need of another one I'll send you a DM.

I received my official 9W Newton adapter today. It's outputting the correct voltage. I plugged it into the eMate, there was a brief flash of the green LED, and then a slight burning smell. I'm able to narrow it down to the power area of the logic board. Lovely!

I connected it an eMate I just received and the OS booted right up. Woo!

We've all smelled that smell, unfortunately.
