DEDICATED MICROS SLDX9C
A bit of a long shot but I have one of these, if you recognise the name
and model then you maybe able to help, if you don't then it is unlikely you can help! Anyway, it is a video multiplexer for use on CCTV and requires + &- 12V dc & +5V dc from an external PSU with a very small multi pin power plug. I don't suppose by any absolute remote chance any one out there has such a PSU? I know I could DIY one but enough DIY has gone into this already and the proper unit would make life a lot easier. If all else fails I may have to actually buy one. -- Bill |

Its standard voltage levels for most computery type stuff,so a generic PSU is no big deal The multipin plug is not so easy though. |

In particular, unless you draw a reasonable current from the 5V rail (assuming an old PSU where that's the primary output), you can find the other rails all over the place. I doubt the video multiplexer draws anything like a computer. -- Andrew Gabriel |

I doubt the video multiplexer draws anything like a computer. Thats usually solved by sticking a 10 ohm 5W o resistor across the 5v supply. |

Http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o63/G8IAY/dm-psu.jpg That power socket certainly does look like an 8 pin mini DIN. They're still used in the video industry on some monitors and Macs used to use them for serial connectors in the days when Macs still had serial interfaces. They're an absolute bugger to solder, but RS used to sell a version that was already terminated to a length of cable. That's a much easier proposition to deal with. There's a fair chance I've got an old one kicking around. E-mail me if you want it, but it may take a while to spot a reply as this is a junk mail account |

Still to be found on the end of most keyboards and mice IIRC. |

The power plug is easy as well, its available from IIRC, CPC, Farnell and RS. No stock numbers but it's a mini DIN. You could also try Dedicated Micros, they're in Swinton, Manchester. -- Clint Sharp |
