RE: OT: Power plugs

Li is completely right - IEC is the "kettle lead" style, not the
2-pin.

The 3-pin you describe is, though, I think Compaq-proprietary.

The 2 pin cassette recorder types are normally called "IEC".

The 3 pin "work of the devil" versions are normally called
"Compaq" :-)

I'm after the name of the mains plug that ships with some laptops. 
You
normally get the powersupply and then a lead from the mains to the psu.
Most I've seen are Euro plugs (3 pin) or 2 pin cassette recorder type
ones.

Couple of laptops I've got have got three pin plugs, a bit like the
olympic
signal but with 3 circles instead of 5..  Just talking about the mains
side
of this - not the low voltage side.

Anyone know of the name of these plugs (or better still a supplier?) 
I cant
search for the plug while I dont know it.

Thanks!

Matthew
