Not exactly what I needed, but got me pointed in the right direction.
Apparently all I need it the +5 and +12 V lines connected to the MB, and I
can get that working on my own.  BTW, I found these really neat little
biscuit PC's from advantech (www.advantech.com) last night too - they look
like they'll fit real well into my in-car application...  This is prolly old
hat to a few of you, but I'm pretty impressed with a socket 7 machine with
ethernet, sound, video, 72-pin SIMMs, 4 serial, 2 parallel, 1 EIDE channel,
floppy control, keyboard, USB, and a PCI slot all in a 5.25" form factor. :)  
Pretty near as cool as a netwinder, IMHO (if they had a cute case as well,
they'd be there). Now if I could just find a price...
