Some people reported that they've been using off the shelf adapter with
their Newton for years without any problem. There is only one problem,
though: many off the shelf adapter will provide varying power, despite their
rating. This has to do with the design and whatever is connected to the
adapter. You have to keep in mind that a too great variation in power can
fry your Newton.

I don't have any adapter for sale, but I would suggest you look on eBay.
There is a specific Newton section, under the PDA/Consumer Electronics
section, I think.
