If you have some soldering skills, you can get an HP F1140A DC adapter
(designed for an HP laptop docking station - I found one on eBay for
$15), the correct DC plug for the Sparcbook from Radio Shack, and solder
it up.
Note that the polarity on the original HP DC plug is reverse of the
correct polarity for the Sparcbook's DC plug (correct polarity for the
Sparcbook is with the center conductor of the plug positive, and the
barrel negative).

If you can't find this specific HP adapter, any source of 12 volts at 5
amps of current will work.
