Radio Shack already sells a box that does exactly this, including a kit of common DC connectors. Switchable voltages are 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, and 9 volts at up to 300 milliamps. You would be hard pressed to design something as small, cheap, and reliable, and safe (UL approved) as this for the $11.95 it costs. It is on page 78 of my 1987 catalog, part no 273-1650. -- Peter Fales UUCP: ...ihnp4!ihlpl!psfales work: (312) 979-7784 AT&T Information Systems, IW 1Z-243 1100 E. Warrenville Rd., IL 60566
