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.

(disclaimer - I've been a hardware hobbyist for 30 or so years, but I 
flunked out of EE @ Univ of Cincinnati 21 years ago!)
