@Euchre: You know, i might if have agreed with you if it were a regular AC-DC adapter, but it ain't! Forgive my doubts, but just take a close look at the socket that plugs into the MacMini. The inner surface has quite a few contacts on it, which makes it obvious that there's more than one voltage going in there! And by the way, that just about happens with almost every computer out there. Let me explain: take the ATX protocol for example. It's a power supply with a weird socket that plugs to the motherboard with a bunch of pins.

The reason is that every component of the computer requires its voltage. The drives require 5 and 12 VDC, the cpu around 1.5 to 3 and so on. The ATX may be an internal power supply, but nevertheless uses the same principle as the external psu of the MacMini.

And since the G4 has different requirements to the Intel CPU, my guess is that there may be a difference. Apple Footer.
