Thanks.  Of course it should be 5.5x2.1mm center +, like everything
else, but finding the right connector shouldn't be that hard, and
there's always cutting the cord on the provided supply and putting in
Anderson Powerpoles.

Do you have any sense if they really mean 12.0V exactly, or if the
11-14V from a lead acid battery on solar float charge is ok?   (That is
ok on soekris, as it is going into a 5V regulator.)
