Visix ELR1 (same as EverFocus EDSR100H/160) - Missing Power Supply

[Kev]

I recently picked up a Visix ELR1/160 (160Gb hard drive) without a
power supply, and want to get it working. I've tried Visix, whose
response was not very encouraging - they basically wanted to know all
my details and where I got the item from, etc. I suspect I'm wasting my
time with them
It appears that the Visix is just a rebadged EverFocus EDSR100H, so I
imagine it will have an identical power supply.
The power supply has a round DB6 connector.
Anyone know where I'd get a power supply?, or have a wiring diagram.
I'm quite capable of wiring up a regulated power supply for it.
Many thanks
Kev
PS these are really nice looking units, and apparently run some form of
embedded Linux - I'd like to have a look at the operating system
eventually

I've tried EverFocus, but they wouldn't help as Videcon (Visix) look
after the UK. So basically I'm stuck at the minute. Videcon may
eventually get back to me, but with their attitude I guess they will
try and stitch me up on price.
My best bet will be find someone with a power supply and see if I can
work out the supply voltages. It will be relatively straight forward
then to knock up a power supply

you can look up specs on everfocus website if it is a comparable unit.

The power supply connector to the box, has six pins. I'd imagine that
they are not all used, but it makes working out how to wire a power
supply up a bit tricky.
