I don't want to tread on anyones toes, but.......
I agree that the current rating cannot be too large for a regulated supply,
but for an unregulated supply this is not the case. The Maplin catalogue
has this to say about an Unregulated 800mA power supply:
"The unit is not stabilised and therefore at low current drains, the voltage
can approach double the full load voltage"
Jaspers suggestion of 800mA may well be fine, but I'd be very cautious about
connecting my RCX (or anything else) to an unregulated supply with a large
current rating.
Apologies if this only confuses matters, but I thought I'd better add a word
of caution.
