Do watch out - the output ratings have changed, usually upwards, over
time.  Plug compatible doesn't always make it safe.  Check the output
voltage, current, etc, instead.

...and, yes, it /will/ just work.  Probably for a long time, if it is
close and you don't run the machine at full draw on a regular basis.

It still isn't a good idea to over-draw on the equipment.
