I hope so, we're still refering people to them. Their name is Powerbox.

I do, but it seems like it's no longer valid!

The problem with the 1) Powerbox powersupply is that it is too expensive
and far too heavy. It would cost us to much to buy them and ship them.
2) The Radio Shack one is afaik one which the voltage is user
controllable. We want one that is fixed so the user can not do anything
that can give problems with the SidStation.

But - according to the promises we should have the US standard power
supplies here any day now. Let's say a few week according to my
experience! :)

We already have european and UK standard supplies. Anyone knows about the
strange Australian standard? The voltage is the same, but the plug appears
to be different. Are there more countries with the Australian standard?
