Iomega Ditto power pinout needed

[Mike]

I bought this drive for like 5 bux with a tape at my local thrift store, but
it didnt come with a power supply.

I do know that it is 15 volts, but I need the pinout to the connector port
on the back.

thanks.

Nevermind. After taking apart, and finding out its all internal. and it has
an AC rectifier......

so, it had to been a raw AC adapter. Didnt take me long to figure this one
out. lol.

The drive needs 5 and 12 volts to run. I seen the 7805 reg that made me
prove this point. sooooo, I see to supplies comming in which all are
12-15VAC so, I grounded 1 side, and hooked in the 2 sources to the B+ as it
didnt matter which combination as they are all rectified to the correct
polarity anyway. THE METAL SHIELD IS NOT PROPER GROUND. there are 3 pins.
center is rectified into 5 volts, and each side goes to the 12 volt
rectifier/reg. soo, I took 1 side, and center tied them to gether, and took
the other side and grounded it.

Bingo. Drive fired up, and it was happy. yay. I hope this helps someone out
there somewhere in the future, (or the past...).
