I've known Dell laptops to complain loudly if you use the wrong power 
adapter, even if the connector is the same. But I just tried a PA-2 that 
I had sitting around and it seems to work just fine despite having a 
lower current rating. The PA-2 and PA-6 seem to be the same except for 
the cord between the wall and the adapter.

However, I just read that these will not charge the battery all the way 
on a laptop designed for a PA-9, so I think I still need the latter. 
Thanks for the offer, though.
