Do you actually know if such a thing exists or are you just assuming? I
hope you do because, I would LOVE to find out the part number. I've been
looking for months such a thing for the pc I keep in my trunk and have
never found one that didn't cost more than the cost of low power mother
board (which would get around the power supply with four voltages problem).
I finally made do with an inverter, which seems kind of a waste.

i.e.  Car makes alternating current which is translated into DC which is
translated back into AC by the inverter which is translated once again into
DC by the computer's power supply.  There has to be a bettter way.

I havn't found a converter in Jameco's catalog that provides all four of
the needed voltages, but perhaps I've missed it.
