I use a LEGO 9V train transformer on my RCXs .... and haven't had any
difficulty.  Keep in mind that LEGO works very hard to make their stuff
"child proof".

It may seem like a trivial concern but if there is even the slightest
chance of frying a $100 RCX with a $10.00 adapter, I think it's worth
getting the proper specs.
