If that's the same one as the Pismo (PB FireWire), they are hard to find
right now. I needed one because my (2nd) power supply had died recently
(the one I got after the original Yo-Yo adapter died). Both (IIRC) lasted
about a year and a half (actually, I think the first one may have gone
just within my original warranty). This time, I ended up paying more for
the adapter, about $80 (plus 2nd day shipping), because the places which
showed lower prices were out of stock.
Please post if you find a supply that has them in stock and at a better
price.
Thanks,

You have to recognize that every out-front maneuver you make is going to
be lonely. But if you feel entirely comfortable, then you are not far
enough ahead to do any good. That warm sense of everything going well is
usually the body temperature at the center of the herd.
