    I was told that the USB Serial Cable provides power to the DiabloSport Predator. If so do I need a Power Supply? If I need a power Supply, can anyone tell me what the end type is?

    The USB cable connects from the Predator to your computer. A separate power supply will be needed if you are going to do some "off-line" work, downloading updates, sending files etc, with the Predator and your laptop, for instance.

    The Class 2 transformer you will need is:
    Input: 120VAC 60Hz 9w
    Output: 9VDC 600mA

    CIDCO model #: SPA - 4180 - 65, PART # 105884-01 is one version you could buy.

    Edit: Just saw your post above. You won't need a tip adaptor with the model I describe.
