I cannot tell for sure, but a little googling leads me to suspect that
it is just a common garden variety 200W AT switching power supply.

There might be several version of AT power connectors so take your
old supply (or even better: your whole old computer) to the store to
get the right fit.

Does the description in this page look familiar?

Is one connector labelled P8 and the other P9?

Don't hook the connectors up backwards!
