It needs, what a >12v and a 9v power supply (or a 9 and a 5?). Does it really *have* to be >getting it AC? It normally uses 5 volts dc (1 1/2 amp) and 9 volts ac. I don't know of any reason the 9 volts has to be ac, but (unlike the VIC) the voltages *must* be correct! In the C64, Commodore moved the primary voltage regulator for the 5 volt supply into the power supply box, so the computer expects to see the voltage already regulated. At the least, you would have to add some kind of voltage regulator IC to drop the car's 12-14 volts to 5 volts.
