    Are there any power supplies on the market that will work with the Doctor V64? I've seen a few 5V / 12V 4 pin mini din power supplies but they have the wrong pin configuration for the V64. I suppose in the worst case scenario I could reconfigure the wires but I'm afraid that many of these power supplies may have bridged pins in the mini din connector that I won't be able to easily modify.

    Can anyone Verify this information:
    When looking at the back of the V64, the pin configuration is as follows
    ______________
    |--(1)------(2)--|
    |-----------------|
    |----(3)--(4)----|
    ______________

    Pin 1: 12V 1.2A
    Pin 2: 5V 1.2A
    Pin 3 & 4: GND

    You're correct about bridged pins. Just chuck the whole cable/connector and use half an s-video cable. Your pinout looks upside down. The cable facing you should look like this (- is the key)
    1 - 2
    4 3

    1,2=GND
    3=5v
    4=12v
