REPOSTED TO CORRECT THREAD...

Hi guys. This is a lame question but here goes. My wife and I moved house earlier in the year and all our power boards and power packs all got thrown into one box. I'm trying to figure out which one is for my phatbox cradle. Can someone that owns one please just tell me the voltage on their power pack and the polarity of the connection? From memory, I think it was a 9V supply. No idea about the polarity.

Thanks in advance.

If you are US based, I have two original Power Supplies here in the UK that are of no use to me. 
I'll be happy to send one over to you if you provide appropriate shipping details

Have I had the wrong adapter plugged into my cradle all this time? Mine says Input: 120VAC 60Hz 15W and Output:  7.5VDC 1A

I do have a problem where my original 20Gb DMS works fine (well, with the usual Windows 7 annoyances) but a 40Gb DMS I bought off eBay is very slow when in the same cradle (Windows detects it fine but it seems to be spin down every few minutes... it makes a "pew" sound which I assume is spin down). Could this be because of the power plug?

So I found a 12V adapter, plugged it in and voila, my 40Gb DMS works now. The 20Gb worked with the 7.5V but the 40Gb needed the 12V adapter.
