If you go to www.classiccmp.org or google and search the archives you'll
find a thread or 2 on power supplies for the Atari 400/800 - these are the
same ones that run the 1050 floppy. The one I have here that recently
powered my Atari 400 and 1200XL is marked as 9.5V 1.5A but it's acting up so
my DMM won't tell me whether it's centre positive or not.

I don't think so, you might need an SIO2PC cable to do that. Hopefully Curt
will be along with more info shortly, as long as he's been allowed back in
after his out-of-office faux pas the other week :)
Cheers
