Hello #DigiPres! Can anyone help with this question we received from a DPC member? "What power supply cable would be compatible with an old Tableau Forensic USB Bridge T8-R2? The specs for this old model give 'TP7 and TP2', but I cannot find either product online."

fortunately in the ISO paywalled version the terminology has been updated and is much clearer. It's all Accessioning > Archival > Access Information Packages now.
