I've used my AC adapter from my 9V trains and I've had no problems.  I think
you can you any old adapter just make sure that you don't put too much current
into the RCX or bye,bye....

E-mail lego about it, I did once to find out how much current the RCX can take
do not remember anymore.
Hope this helps

(...) The current is determined by the load, not by the source. You could hook the RCX to a 9v 60A supply and it would be fine. (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

If you're talking about a _Lego_ 9V train, it's the same adaptor. Dennis (...) -- Dennis Williamson - Certified Y2K Complacent Bad News: The next millenium starts on a Monday. Good News: You get the day off. (remove .NO and SPAM. to reply) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
