be drawn from that C64/128/VIC-20 cassette port edge connector.  However, the
Plus/4 uses a 7-pin mini DIN cassette port connector, and so for the Plus/4,
you'd have to buy/
build an adapter with a male, mini-DIN plug and a female cassette port edge
socket, or you'd have to find SD2IEC's that don't draw power from the cassette
port.  Such SD2IEC's, which draw their power from the Commodore user port, are
marketed by The 
Future Was 8 Bit.  Below are the links to their SD2IEC's with the user port
option or with the user port adapter already there.

As does uIEC/SD (it uses a Mini-USB connector for alternate power)
