A final word on this subject. I've posted two replies already but have
missed the obvious until today.
Unfortunately, it's so obvious that it's embarrassing.
I made a comment that I was surprised that there were no instructions
in the manual as to what adapter to use, and that there were no
markings on the RCX either. I was under the impression that this was a
legal requirement. I still don't know for sure if it is a requirement
or not, but I now know for sure that it is molded right into the
plastic directly above the input jack.
In beautiful Lego yellow on a Lego Yellow background (nice color
scheme - it's no wonder no one can find it) it reads: "9 - 12V ~"
The " ~ " indicates AC, hence polarity is irrelevant.
