Firewire PCMCIA power adapter info needed.

Ok techi gurus, heres a hairy one for you.

I have a PCMCIA firewire cardbus that I would like to use with a power adapter. Unfortunately there is no brand name on the box and no details as to what voltage, amps etc to help work out which one to get. I would ring the Jaycar office where I bought it from but unfortunately they are not open on the weekends. Either Saturday or Sunday. Yes I know that is a bit bizzare, especially when they are in Maroochydore, the local shopping meca.

Anyway...here's a picture for someone to ID.


I have another firewire card with an adapter. The adapter for that is Output 12V and 1 amp. I don't like using that particular cardbus as it gets VERY hot. The adapter is the correctly rated one as specified on the back of that box. Would that adapter be suitable for the cardbus in the picture?

Thanks
