... you could always hack a clone power supply (that's what they're
good for, imho =;^) ) and use the ST power cord.  Pinouts for the ST
cable should be on the bottom of the "corpse", and whatever clone supply
you buy should have pinouts on it, or you can use any old voltmeter.
And clone supplies are >VERY< readily available... alas.
