Whether you get that power supply depends on your luck. I have half a dozen platinum IIes and all have the standard IIe power supplies. On the other hand a friend of mine has several and they all have IIgs style power supplies. I suspect that towards the end of production Apple standardized on one power supply with two different connecters. Wayne
