<Whatever!>
That's what they say whenever they don't understand what you are talking about
(which is almost all of the time.) Their AC adapters put out 12VDC. Fine. You
will need to supply 12VDC, but they just MIGHT work on 9VDC, and undervoltage
never hurt anything of this nature. Just make sure you get the power polarity
correct, it ain't a LEGO product and it isn't guarded against it!
have fun,
