It's identical to the one used for the Acorn clock box, and an Acorn
Atom. In fact mine are actually labelled "Atom Power Supply". BTW,
it's not a "Level 1" terminator, just an active terminator,
theoretically better than the passive ones used later, and by SJ. If
you were running a really long Econet, it would be the best choice, but
for short networks, it won't much much difference.
Anyway, the PSU spec is 8VDC at up to 1.8A into a 2.5mm power plug,
centre-positive. Given its origins, it can provide a lot of current,
though for a terminator or clock box, it hardly needs to!
