I picked up a slightly used wdxb1600jbrrn (160GB external USB/Firewire
drive) and there was one problem, no power supply. Anyone have the
info on the power supply or its pinout? I have a power supply from
Iomega ZipCD that has +5v and +12v and should have enough current to
handle the hard drive.

Or maybe someone has a power supply for these external hard drive to
spare? The one from 120GB, 160GB, 200GB, and 250GB should work, I
don't know if other hard drive power supply would work or if they'd
need to be modded.

TIA
