Thats the same voltage/amps as the Sega megadrive power supply, should not be too hard to find an adaptor and modify it?

edit:

make sure its a Megadrive 1 and NOT a megadrive 2

something like this one

Many thanks GG. Do you know how can I tell whether the one I need is centre + or -?

I refer my learned friend to his thread relating to meters. :)

Do you have the spec sheet for the device you are plugging into. It should be on there. Or there may be a symbol adjacent to the socket.
