media player with figure 8 cable

[eightsix]

anyone know of a media player that takes a figure 8 cable for its power supply?

Otherwise known as a C7/C8 in the IEC 60320 standards. Recently more common to find C13/C14. Of course, it is just a PSU, you could always replace them.

It was never a very good media player though!

Hey now it had sms player or whatever it was called

True, but I think we've probably derailed the OP's topic far enough without getting into the virtues (or lack thereof) of the PS2!!

Your questions begs another question "Why?"

haha actually you guys have kind of mentioned the reason, trying to get a media player setup somewhere i dont have good access to wiring for power - i've just set a PS2 up in this spot today and managed to get that power cable through.

problem is only 1 available power outlet, cant really run a double adapter, and a lot easier to swap the cable between devices at the device end than at the power socket

Doesn't one of the NMT's have a plus8 power cable that goes into the PSU brick?
