Wayne: 

Those you mention are the much later IEC types, used in almost everything 
these days, but what was wanted was the OLDer type of HP power cord. 

That one had a flattened, much smaller, three-pin connection unique to HP 
and it looked and worked nothing even remotely like the modern ones.

I have several pieces of the older HP gear here which require that earlier, 
smaller one, and once the power cord is lost, finding a replacement is amost 
impossible.

I have had to replace the older HP power connector with a modern IEC type 
for some of my gear. Many times, the IEC type simply won't fit as it is too big.
