: Actually a PC power supply has 4 wires. They are +12vdc -12vdc +5vdc and -5vdc. So find the 5vdc wire and you are all set. Many devices like hard drives are actually marked so you can tell en apart.
Could you provide me with a little map of the wires and their respective votages? I don't have a voltmeter handy.
I am going to wire up a custom adaptor that plugs into the HD connector, with a y-split in case there's no available free Connector. The other end can have the plug that goes to the Trackball power connector.
