There is a more standard set of din connectors (mini-din 4, and locking din 4) for giving 5v and 12v on one connector, I know it was used on some early toshiba laptops and a few early usb peripherals like cd drives/burners.
Mini-din 4 is very common and is also used for S-video, and for Apple ADB keyboards/mice, so getting cables and sockets should be very simple. The "standard" 5v/12v pinout for those connectors can probably be found on pinouts.ru somewhere, this MIGHT be it, but first find a power supply (rexon ac-005 or similar) and make sure the power comes out the pins you think it does with a meter http://pinoutguide.com/ChargersAdapters/fantom_hdd_power_pinout.shtml

That is a very special kind of connector. It's called a "desolder-this-stupid-thing-and-replace-with-a-normal-barrel-jack"

Guys,
I have a old handheld gadget (circa 1993) with this weird DC charging port: http://www.snarc.net/port.jpg ... can't find the adapter for it. Anyone know what this is called so I can buy a plug? It's about the same diameter as a PS/2 plug.
