I did some quick googling, and it looks like the same unit is sold
under HP and some other brands. Maybe you can find one on EBay with
a power adapter?
Otherwise... buy the Radio Shanty adapter and give it a try. I found
a pic' of the internals of the unit, and it looks like it further
filters and regulates the 9V to a lower level, so the slightly lower
current output probably isn't a problem. Worst case, it just won't
work; I doubt you can damage it trying.
