Solve : Intermec 5055 Power Solution Needed?

Answer»

So, I have in my hands an Intermec 5055 mobile COMPUTER.  It's of course made for use in a vehicle.  I want to use it in my house though and am trying to find a SOLUTION.  I've seen a power cable with the round end and 3 holes on 1 end, and a standard 3 prong grounded plug on the other (The kind that plugs into your wall outlet at home).  Unfortunately, I didn't think it would be smart to just use that cord on this, not knowing if without some sort of regulation of power, it might blow out the power on the unit.  So, can someone please help me find the cheapest possible solution to this.  Also, the power limit for the plug on the computer is 12V DC power, and 2,8A MAX.  I've included a picture of the plug on the unit itself.

Any AC to DC regulated power supply that OUTPUTS 12VDC 2.8A will work.  Here's a surplus one from Intermec:  http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=15896+PS

You'll have to fabricate an adapter to the connector.Looking at the adapter, I don't see how I can fabricate the other end.  The cable that came with the unit (which has the female version of the plug on both ends...) is, by far, thicker than the cord I see on the surplus unit.  Anyone else have any other ideas besides just "fabricating" one?CONTACT Intermec and ask them.
