From watching the video it looks like it is the same type of power cable. But, if you say it is smaller...

This might be crazy...The Atari AC plug puts its power through what looks like a normal audio jack. So maybe if you buy a converter to make it a smaller one the power will still flow properly. I believe the Atari plug is a 3.5mm jack so you would need to go down to a 2.5mm jack.

Just be careful with it and I'd suggest wrapping any bare metal not being inserted in the system in electrical tape (if you can get one with a plastic casing certainly do that.

You know how cellphones used to have audio jacks that were smaller than regular headphone jacks? That's basically the problem. Try plugging headphones into an older cell phone and you'll see what I mean. (at least the cell phones I had were like that).
The converter seems like a better idea. I really prefer not to modify any consoles if I don't have to. I'm just afraid of breaking it.
I'll try to find a converter.

You need the Unisonic 630 power supply. There
are currently 2 for sale on Ebay for less than
15 bucks w/free ship. These power supplies were
also used with many of their calculators.
