I suggest you try Ebay. There are a lot of adaptors for different
brands. You dont need a specific 
powerlite adaptor, you can use anything that gives you 12V 4-5 A.
I found this on Ebay for $36 that sells on Radio shack for $119. It is a
universal laptop adapters,
perhaps someone in Belgium sells them.

You get to pay shipment of course but with Ebay its still cheaper than
in the stores, and the dollar is pretty low now compared to the Euro (he
he..).

That one doesnt look to big and ugly in the picture, but it hasnt
arrived yet so it remains to find out how weird I'll look in public ;-)

I'm sure someone on the list can measure the polarity on the connector
before you connect yours so that you
dont accidently blow up anything.
