Cut the output cable on the power converter, and the input cable on the DR-400. Get some solder and heat shrink tubing. Connect the converter to the DR-400 and check the polarity on a multimeter. If it is backwards, switch it. Slide some heat shrink tubing onto the cables, solder the leads together, and then heat the tubing to tighten it up. If you cut the cables offset, then there is no danger of shorting out:

-------- --- cable trimmed as so
--- --------

--------x--- soldered ends
---x--------

You might want to put some epoxy or something on the voltage selector on the power converter to protect it from being switched, but I think I have read somewhere that the camera can take up to 10V as input power. Don't quote me on that one though!

Eric
