Recent Find: Votrax PSS & VaxClusters

I've managed to come across a 'Votrax Personal Speech System'. I've found
some information from google, but haven't found out some important things
like what the pinout is on the power connector (it's a DIN-5). While I
can just trace the traces back to chips on the circuit board, it's proven
hard to disassemble, so I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Does anyone have enough information about this thing to tell me how it
wants to be powered?

Oh, and another thing. I've recently picked up a few 2-4VUPS VAXstations
that I'm working on trying to turn into a VMS cluster. I'm hoping to
create a public-access system - I remember seeing an article about another
one on SlashDot a few months ago. Because of the terms of the hobbyist
license, I'll need to make it a non-commercial-use-only cluster, but I'd
like to make it available to list members or other people to mess around
with.
