I purchased the MacNifty Audio Digitizer a very long time ago, and have
been using it with a 512KE Mac. I know that I need a "power adaptor" to
use it with the Mac Plus. My questions:
(1) Will that power adaptor work with my SE/30?
(2) Where can I get said power adaptor? (I have tried to contact MacNifty
many a time, getting responses like MacWhat??)
Somebody suggested that I use the power adaptor from Thunderware's
ThunderScan, but I would rather take a "safer" route if at all possible (if
it is indeed "unsafe" to use Thunderware's power).
Thanks muchly.

It is nifty and safe. I use it to support an old Assimilation brand MIDI adaptor. The T-scan adaptor takes power from the floppy port (you can still use an external floppy by plugging into the T-scan adaptor daisy-chain style. No muss, no fuss, no need for an electrical outlet. It should work absolutely the same on the SE/30, because the floppy port is the same. Eirikur Hallgrimsson eh@ddif.enet.dec.com

I have the "official" MacNifty power adapter. It is from a company called Impulse. It wasn't cheap, so if you use your thunderscan adapter you'll be better off. Incidentally, when I ordered it, the salesman said that the adapter's were originally designed for Coleco's Adam computer. Apparently, what Impulse does is take your MacNifty, and splice in this Adam power supply. The power supply is rather heavy, although the heavy part mounts on the wall socket. You have to send you MacNifty to Impulse to get the supply. -Owen Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu uunet!brunix!omh "Don't wait up for me tonight because I won't be home for a month."
