I have just recently picked up an Atari 800XL and a Rana Systems 1000 drive.
My problem is that there were no cables included, or power supplies for either
machine.  This makes using them very difficult  :-)

I believe I can track down a power supply for the XL without too much trouble,
but I have had no luck at all with a supply for the disk drive.

Main Question:  Could anyone offer some helpful information regarding the
		power requirements for this disk drive?  Where I might get one,
		Possible compatibility with other power supplies, Anything that
		might help!

Another One  :  I also own a C64, and I've noticed that the computer-end of the
		power supply (a DIN jack) looks identical to that of the
		Atari 800XL.  Does anyone know if power supplies for these two
		computers are identical (i.e. swappable/interchangable)?
		I'm curious, but not brave (or stupid?) enough to test it out
		blindly  |-)
