For "raw" parts how about http://www.jameco.com/ ?

Yes, PS/2 keyboard/mouse uses the same mini-DIN, but the wiring is
completely different.
Thanks for the URL...

There are a couple of 6-pin connectors that look like the mini-DIN used by the
PS/2 mouse that won't fit. However, Radio Shack sells a PS/2-type of connector
in a blister pack for about $1.50. I used one when replacing the power
connector on a portable JAZ drive. Frankly, I was both pleased and amazed that
they had the things.

New subject: Looking for DEC laptop power supplies
Does anyone have some extra power supplies for the DEC Hinote VP TS31D or
VP700? I need an AC adapter for a VP700 and AC adapters for two VP TS31D
systems.
I'm looking on eOverPay, but not much luck so far.

I hate mini-DINs. They're OK for portable systems, but they don't belong on
desktops or anything else. They're hellish to solder. And it gets even more
stupid when they're used for AC adaptors. It's just a way to force the user
into using only branded transformers. Especially if they're only using two
pins on the mini-DIN.
