Be wary of the one listed here from the company Mouser. It meets the voltage/amperage requirements, and it was recommeded here, so I bought a couple. When they arrived (to my dismay!), I discovered the internal hole on the connector was too small for both my 1000 and my 1100. Rather than ship them back and try and find a different source, I just "modified" them by enlarging the hole enough so it will plug in. I guess it was worth it in the long run, it is a higher amperage than the original, and quite a bit cheaper than a replacement from Adaptec.

Also, it seems that 12v 3.5A adapters are very common for LCD monitors, so it may be easy to find one in a local used computer shop, as long as the connector is the right size.
