Wow, talk about overpriced! If there was no other choice to paying
that price, I'd just hack the power supply to bypass the connector and
hardwire a suitable power cord to a system. :-) As I'm sure that my
VAX is drawing nowhere near even the 8.5A, I just hacked (with a knife)
a 10A power cord's socket to fit the VAX's PSU connector.
