Hehe.

I did a search for "IEC C14" (since I know the computer inlet is an IEC
C13/C14 connector - and it was likely that was the one you were using).

I also didn't find anything with an obvious pin-out, but then I had a
bit of a brainwave: Pin-outs are normally pictures - so I just did an
images search instead, and looked for one that appeared to have the
pinouts described.

It really doesn't matter which way around they go - the diagram shows it
goes to a coil, and that certainly won't care.
