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.
