Thanks Keith.

I may get up the guts and try this.  I am worried because I doubt the
SB3GS itself
has much in the way of a filter or buffer inside of it, I bet that it
pretty
much assumes that what it receives is exactly what it wants.  Where as I
know that
the little AC power pack for the SB3GS knows that it doesn't always get
what it wants
but that it might get what it needs (Stones reference intended).  If I
thought I
could fix it if it breaks I would be much more inclined to test out the
DC to DC
converter... until then... no laptop in the car for me :(
