   Most common three pin is +, -, status.   
      
   Status line typically grounded through <1Kohm is required to   
   turn on DC.   
      
   If you've got the adapter, you can identify status line   
   with a voltmeter, while making iterative terminal contacts   
   with a 1K resistor.   
      
   Adapter rating appears similar to generic laptop chargers.
