PLI SuperFloppy 2.8

I've been digging through some of my NeXT gear and I found a nice artifact. This unopened new/old stock PLI SuperFloppy 2.8 is going to see the light of day at some point. It'll be interesting to see the contents. I'm curious to look through the manual and to view the specs on the original power supply.

Hello NeXTCommunity: If anyone has a supper floppy out there , I really need a picture of the power supply /adapter. My overly effiicient assistants separated all theadaptors and power supplies from original spectrum of peripherals with out simply labeling them and the manufactures some but not all neglect to do this . Most people not an issue with a handful of devices , I'm now dealing with over a hundred adapters separated from units, starting to rebuild the puzzle and this one manifesting a photo would make it so much easier , :) Shrinkwrapped is really cool.

Rob, you can find some information about voltage here (unfortunately there are no photos in the thread):

Rob, here are pictures of a PLI SuperFloppy power adapter provided by @pl212. As you can see, it's a center-positive 7.5V DC adapter.  I'd be careful plugging it in to the drive though when you find it. Apparently the pictured adapter was putting out over 10V DC.

The drives use a 5v linear voltage regulator inside so you can use a slightly higher voltage and be fine.
