Do you know what the connector is called? Could you post a pic of it?

I dont think you will find an adapter, I think they were designed for use with only that computer.

I believe you are looking for the Griffin Technology iFire, but it is discontinued so you will have to look on eBay and you could search it on Froogle.

The only way to use these without the iFire - mentioned above - which is difficult to find and unreasonably expensive, is to cut off the little white jointing piece on the speaker cables (which contains a little chip) and connect a new piece of wire with a standard 3.5mm minijack instead of the 2.5mm one supplied. The chip in the jointing piece prevents you from getting a satisfactory result otherwise.

I saw some pro speakers used in a car a few years ago (as attached), he'd just re-wired them.

The problem with connecting them to a computer without the right socket is the lack of built in amp', i should imagine running off whats built in on most computers will give a very low volume
