I'm thinking about bidding on an old eprom programmer on ebay. I've already found the software and checked it out, and I'm happy with that part of it. But the seller doesn't have the power supply for it, and when I asked, he said there were no markings on the unit to indicate what specs it requires. Of course it's possible it doesn't work, but I'm willing to risk that.
How possible is it to reverse engineer the specs for the power adapter? The unit is a Tribal TUP-300. I suppose it would involve opening the unit and looking at some chip markings near the power connector, but would this be a relatively easy thing to figure out?
Unfortunately it ends pretty soon, but hopefully somebody can offer some guidance on this sort of situation. Thanks.
