I rememebr one of the old Sun machines (Sun 2?) that

+24V. And IIRC the only differnce in the tape drive pwoer connector was
the colour of thew wire to one pin.
Whoo - I think you might have got it :) I was casually reading this thread and
had a hazy memory of seeing inside some system where there was what looked to
be a "standard" power connector when in fact it wasn't. I think you're
probably right, and the Sun2 was it... trying to remember's been nagging at me
all day :-)
