What are the exact specifications for an AC adapter for the RCX? I've
heard that polarity doesn't matter and that any 9 volt adapter will do.
I'm curious as to what the different mA ratings mean when purchasing a 9
volt adapter. Is there a specification for the RCX concerning this? I
wouldn't want to fry my RCX if I bought the wrong one.


Look on your RCX. Any normal DC adapter between 9 and 12 Volts.

I have looked on the RCX and I've noticed it does say "9-12V ~". From what I've gathered the "~" means polarity doesn't matter. My concern is the mA rating of 9 volt adapters. Radio Shack has about 6 different types each with a unique mA rating. (...) (26 years ago, 24-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
