I have one of these adapters for my TP755CE, I seem to remember a
picture from IBM coming with it, the picture showed the funny short
cord with a big tick against it and a long cord with an emphatic red
cross against it. I assumed long cords were not allowed ( can't think
why though). Can anyone confirm or deny this, I'm sick of the short
one's as well
