Probably not. If it has 4 pins, it might expect the power supply to
provide multiple voltages (e.g. +5 V logic, +12 V for disk and CD, -12
V for the serial port).
Modern laptops generally take a single input voltage (e.g. 20 V) and
internally convert that to all of the other voltages needed. But old
ones were more likely to require several voltages.
