Do you have a 5pin or 4pin power connector in your oceanic? |

AFAIR the Oceanic Excelerator Plus should be the same as the Oceanic 118, just a different name.
In this case the power suply should be the same as this one -> http://www.drcrazy.de/pic2.jpg
The pin layout is:
1 = +5V (600 mA)
2 = Ground
3 = not used
4 = Ground
5 = +12V (420 mA)
hope this helps |

Serial cable is the same as used for the 1541.
If you're able to read german, you can get an adapter 1541 II power supply <> oceanic drive here -> http://home.teleos-web.de/jwittiber/flohmarkt/ersatzteile.htm
Otherwise, I don't know from where you come but here on ebay you can find the drives with power supply quite often. |

The serial cables are all the same, all pins are connected straight through. |
