Data General One Power Supply

[RadRacer203]

Just picked up one of these the other day (2T model) but it didn't come with the power cord. I have the guy I got it from looking for it but I have my doubts he'll find it, so I'm looking for some info to make a new one, or if someone happens to have a spare. There isn't any info on the machine, but I read somewhere it should be 6.5v? And I'm not sure what connector I could make work, it's kind of an odd one but I think I may have seen it somewhere before so maybe it isn't completely proprietary?

The online sources that I've seen say 5.8V. I wonder if an old electric shaver cord might fit the connector spacing.

Ok, I'll do some more research into the voltage/current requirements. I think you might be right about an electric shaver power supply having a similar plug, maybe I can find one to use as a donor

Looks like that standard shaver plug is too wide to fit unfortunately

What's the pin spacing on the One?

 

[RadRacer203]

I can't seem to find my calipers at the moment but center to center the pins are a hair under 1/4" apart and the connector itself is 1/2" wide up to the rubber plug I assume is covering a third pin, and 3/8" tall

I'll look around for inspiration, but this may end up as a "make your own plug" affair.

That's what I'm thinking but I'm hoping to avoid that lol
