I thought I purchased an old PowerBook 1400cs. However, the seller lost the power supply. He is willing to sell me the PowerBook without the power supply for a lower price.

How much do these power supplies cost? Where could I find such a thing?

G3 PowerBook 1400cs
No such animal! The 1400cs is a PPC 603 chip that was discontinued ten years ago. It will not run OS X.

Sorry about that. I don't want it to run Mac OS X, but to use it to open some old floppy disks that I had.

I guess the 603 is technically "Gen 2". ;)

Is this what you need? (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-PowerBook-1400CS-Adapter-Supply/dp/B000R1TB16/ref=sr_1_22/104-1145157-1191950?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187095827&sr=1-22)

I'd guess you can shop around on eBay also and find a (slightly) cheaper price.

G3 processor upgrades are common on PB1400's.

To the OP, you can use any adapter from PB's 1400, 2400, 3400 or G3's and the original ibook.
