Turns out that the "Mickey Mouse" style power plug is in the same family as the plugs we usually see on the backs of our computers, but rated for a lower amperage. It is IEC-320 style C5/C6, whereas the "normal" business equipment connector is IEC-320 style C13/C14. http://www.qualtekusa.com/catalog/ac_recept/PDFs/connector.pdf for pretty pictures of all of these.
