I've seen a few people talking about doing this mod (where the SCD is powered from the side connector) for the model 2 SCD but haven't seen it done for the model 1.. Is there any information on anyone doing this?
I have one of them. It's called the Sega Trio and it works perfect for my model 2 Genny, model 2 CD, and 32X setup.
Its a made up name for a PSU with 3 connectors. Its not really "called" anything, other than what some website decided to name it - as if they have the rights to making a 3 connector PSU or something.
If you have an adapter that provides enough current you can use something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350790893954
