Power to the Basic Stamp

Yesterday I found two PCs on the Sperrmüll ("large items garbage collection"), and now I have two nice power supplies. The 250W unit I left intact as a source for my potential robot arm project, the 300W unit I dissambled for parts and cables.

After taking a male plug apart and soldering on one of my new 4 pin power supply cables I've got a nice long extension from the 12V power supply on the ship to the Basic Stamp. The Stamp got a new power connector which fits the floppy size power plug of the cable. Now I can run the Stamp on ship or on accumulator power (I've got a small 4 x AA pack for the latter).
