JavaStation Krups power connector --------------------------------- by Pete Zaitcev, Pete Young, Egbert-Jan Holleman BY USING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT OR PROPERTY AND/OR ANY PERSONAL INJURY. Connector type is MiniDIN-8. It is used for Sun Type-4 and Type-5 keyboards, so you can cut it out from a spare keyboard cable. The following is a view looking at the back of the unit: --------- / \ / 8 7 6 \ ! 5 4 3 ! \ 2 1 / \ / --------- 1, 2, 3 == +5V 4, 6, 7 == GND 5 == +12V 8 == This connects to GND either through a button on the top of the unit, or by an open collector software controlled circuit. The signal goes from the box to the power supply to control it. No -12V power is used, an ADM211E converts TTL into RS-232 levels. The 3.3V is generated internally by a switching convertor. Loads are unknown, to be estimated.
