- I bought a used Indus w/o the power supply, and I just bought
- an unregulated 12v supply for about $5 (can't remember where).
- I looked inside the drive - there is a voltage regulator and a
- big capacitor, so you don't need to be as picky with the power
- supply as you would for an 800xl for example. All you really
- need is a transformer and rectifer. Don't know how much current
- it draws.
