I knew I had this around here somewhere.
I searched the CD a couple of times and the bingo
key words were "power supply" Duh!

I just recieved a catalog for a key item.
A power supply that takes in 12 volts DC and puts out 5 volts
DC at 5 amps for the PC mother board.

$69 at AstroDyne

1 800 823 8082  http://www.astrodyne.com

This is a break through price as I have paid as much as
$300 for such an item. Avidyne and others are charging
up to $10,000 for PC based cockpit LCD moving maps.
Using this power supply you can build one for under $500
using off-the-shelf mother boards and other
plug in cards not counting the LCD itself.
