Thanks. Of course it should be 5.5x2.1mm center +, like everything else, but finding the right connector shouldn't be that hard, and there's always cutting the cord on the provided supply and putting in Anderson Powerpoles. Do you have any sense if they really mean 12.0V exactly, or if the 11-14V from a lead acid battery on solar float charge is ok? (That is ok on soekris, as it is going into a 5V regulator.)
