Title: MacENC and Raster Charts

especially if Apple doesn't come out with a 12 converter soon.

The converter is pretty easy. About 10 months ago (when I got my Intel Powerbook), I looked in Google for such a supply and ran across this website:

http://www.mikegyver.com/

At that time, all they sold was a DC/DC converter (to step up the 12V to 15V, which is what the Intel Macs want) and instructions for putting a plug on the MagSafe cable. I did that, and it has worked fine since then. So I would have recommended that, except when I checked the website today, I see they now sell a Kensington unit that does the trick. One of the testimonials was even from a sailor! So if you like to solder, you could buy the kit (probably cheaper) or if not, just go with the ready-made unit. BTW, I have no financial interest in this company!
