I can't remember if I posted this before. A guy in my club made a nice
little package for his WX Works setup. You can see some pictures at
http://xcski.com/gallery/wxworks

Before everyone freaks out - he's got a bunch of stuff in there that
you do not need for aircraft only operations. Like the Rat Shack 9V
AC-DC regulator, and the DC-AC Inverter.

You will note from the captions on the pictures that he's also got it set
up so he can plug it into the wall when he is on the ground. I'm not sure
why he has the Inverter, I'll ask him.

A lot of laptops take 16VDC as their power source, something not
readily available in the plane - so perhaps he is using the inverter
to power the AC-DC converter that powers the laptop? Sounds a bit
cumbersome, but it would work, and is more readily available than
finding a 12V-16V DC switcher.
