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)
