I hope somebody can answer this for me, or point me in the right
direction. I've looked via Google to no avail...

I need to know the specs of the power supply for the adapter. I can't
find one that went with it, and there are no specs on the adapter
itself...

Please help!!!

Thanks!

If it's like a Xetec Supergrafix or Cardco G-Wiz printer interface, it
should be powered by the computer itself, via the cassette port. Is there a
wire coming out of it with a 6-finger/2-sided male edgecard connector on the
end? If so, that's the power connector.

I know that most printer interfaces are like that, unfortunately not
this one. It normally takes power from the printer as far as
understand, and has a plug for an external power supply...
