I don't remember what an 800 uses, but the 800XL supplies are 5V at
1 amp (or maybe 1.5 amp, been a long time).
The pinout is odd... the DIN connector pins alternate, +5V and ground.
Shouldn't be hard to meter it & tell which are the ground pins.
The 800 used a completely different supply, but I can't remember what it
was. May have been the same as the 1050 drive (11.5V AC I think, but don't
take my word for it)
Might want to search comp.sys.atari.8bit on google groups.
