Here, the front of my power supply reads:

SPECTRAVIDEO
POWER SUPPLY
MODEL NO: 318 - 202
EXPANDER SV-601 USE ONLY

INPUT: 120VAC 60 Hz 65W max
OUTPUT: PINS 1,2 14V 2A
             3,4 6V 3A

The output plug is labeled thusly:

          -----------
    1 -> | * * | <- 2
    3 -> | * * | <- 4
          -----------

I would guess, with outputs rated at 6 and 14 volts, that this is an
unregulated supply.

Here's some stuff from the user's guide:

* the power supply module pictured with the system unit is identical in
appearance to the one I have, though is listed as model SV201. My power
supply is, according to its label, for use only with the SV601 7-slot
expander. I don't own an expander. I don't seem to own an SV201.

* The pinout reference at the back of the manual is limited to I/O ports
and does not list anything for the power input.

* IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS POINT WHETHER THE POWER SUPPLY I HAVE WILL
OPERATE AN SV328.

This is all the information I have at my disposal. If nobody else is able
to provide definitive information, perhaps it will prove useful as a
starting point for you in your research.

ok
