I hate to throw a bucket of cold water on everything, especially in a  
newsgroup full of people who just LOVE to design their own gadgets, but  
wouldn't it be easier to get a cigarette-lighter power adaptor for about  
$10 or so from an electronics store like (dare I mention the R-S phrase?)  
or somewhere, or, heaven forbid, get the one the manufacturer recommends  
and save your warrantee??  Caveat:  I tried to find a SONY adaptor for my  
SONY discman, and have yet to find a place that can keep them in stock  
long enough . . ..  I ended up with the R-S model, and rigged a "pigtail"  
plug adaptor using the plug from my A-C adaptor (since the plug on SONY is  
non-standard) and fixed it so I could switch the pigtail from the AC to  
the DC adaptors.  It works, though I admit it took all the fun out of  
devising a solution . . ..

Feeling bad for suggesting store-bought goods in a home-built newsgroup,
I am
