where does one find the power supply that is mentioned. The tiny connector on the end of the USB cord is smaller than any power connector I've seen.

Arthur I used to use this for an IBM T23 Think Tank. Was good for USB connections 1.0 and I think raised connectivity to 2.0. I don't recall the plug or power issues but remember it worked well. Sorry I can't give you the technical info at this time. Have simply forgot how it worked. SamN

To supply power to this caerd, you have to have a powered USB port available. Plug the included cord into your existing on-board USB port and plug the other end into the small connector in the middle of the card.No added power for things like wireless mouse adapters or thumb drives, but needed for things like external drives and cell modems.

It is plug and play. You don't need a power supply. Plug it in. And it should set up.

My original old Laptop has only two USB2.0 Ports. My (two port) PCMCIA USB2.0 Cardbus PC Card came with a 24" USB Power Cable, which plugs into the center of the PCMCIA Cardbus. I plug the other end into my USB2.0 four port Hub, which is plugged into one of my two Laptop USB2.0 ports. The other PS USB Port supports heaver loads, like my USB Backup Drive or USB DVD/CD Burner. Note, the PCMCIA USB2.0 Cardbus is only good for light-loads, like my USB Mouse, etc.... My old Laptop has a 90W AC Power Adapter, which is enough to power everything....

Plug the GMYLE PCMCIA card into the laptop. Plug USB device(s) into that card. If the USB devices work without using the power cord, you don't need to use the power cord. Some devices get their power from the card. The card supplies a certain amount of power to devices. If that amount of power is not enough for the devices, then use the power cord as follows. Connect the power cord to any USB port on the laptop (sometimes there are 2 USB plugs on the power cord that can be connected to 2 USB ports on the laptop, for even more power). Connect the very small plug to the small round hole that is between the 2 USB ports on the card. By doing that, the USB ports of the laptop provide power to the card so the card can provide power to the devices that are plugged into the USB ports on the card.

I don't know. I am not using the power port. My laptop has enough power to the card that everything works fine without an external power supply.

Mini USB is a specific type of connector, this is powered by a USB 2.0 cable that will plug into your laptop. It is included and even has a nice routing on the bottom of the fan pad to keep it out of the way and tucked underneath

Hi, I realize that this is an old post, but the power supply is a 12 volt 1 amp with a barrel connector. These can be found as generics or multi-application power supplies right here on Amazon or on eBay. Hope that helps! Best2u, Max4urmoney

It seems like a mini-usb, but I am not sure if it is a standard. I have a pile of the smallish usb cables that all seem unique. I have wondered why there isn't a standard. Sorry I can't be more accurate.

I think any USB cord should work. I can't remember that it's a special size.

Sorry, don't understand this question. Extra power supply to what? My review was about the battery charger and it doesn't come with a power supply. You provide the power supply by plugging it in to an electrical outlet.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

Apparently quality control isn't perfect. I got a USB cord, but it was the wrong size.

It isnt anything special. Just make sure you get a mini usb to 2 regular usb cable. (Yes, that is one end is a MINI USB (not micro) and then the other end will have 2 regular sized USBs.) It is because one pulls power and the other actually send/receives the data IIRC

Did you ever find out about this AC adapter? Does it come with that little Phoney battery insert or did they dispose of that to make you plug it into the USB connector on the side? It looks to me thats what they did to save money, but I'd rarther have it go into the batt compartment.

Usb cable, but no power supply. For a good power supply, look at frequently bought together with this item.

I love this thing. I think it's the smallest usb type. It's been forever since I had to charge it, but I use a random cable I had with an apple usb wall charger.

Jerry: The mini slot is used to connect it to a power source which is included from the shipment. The rest of the USB slots can be use whenever you want to connect anything that connects to a USB.

It looks like a USB male of n one end with a mini-B male on other end. Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack and Wal-Mart should have them.

The one i have has a spot for AC power for those devices that need more power but its best for low power devices. cord on mine is 4in. approx.The slots are running parallel but share the 5v USB power so there will be a drop on power between all devices.

It takes a size connector that you can easily obtain at any electronic gear shop. But look around at your own computer, mobile and electronics first. You might have a USB power cord already that will fit. If not, ask your friends. This particular cord is a bit older technology as most of the new gadgets are going with the smaller mini to USB cord. I have 6 or 7 of these old ones stashed away. lol

I've used both a mini-usb to usb cable to any USB source and the proprietary. Any charger that give acceptable mini-usb power can work.
