SUCCESS with the plug i linked above from radioshack.. of course, being RS, there's a fun story to go along with it..
so i stop by RS on my way home from work yesterday. mind you, i need to pick up the power adapter, go home to change, and charge my iriver in the car on the way to a show.. i go right over to the power adapters, and i'm looking over them one by one, and i'm NOT seeing the one i saw on the website (figures).. within a minute, a helpful RS staff member is there to assist..
RS kid: can i help you find something?
davepeck: yeah, i'm looking for a power adapter that i saw on rs.com, that's selectable from 3-7.5v.
RS kid: (looks at shelf) hmm... here's some other ones..
davepeck: yeah, none of them have 5v selectable, which is what i need.
RS kid: hmm... this one has 4.5v.. and this one has 6v.. i guess we don't have it..
davepeck: uhhhh... is there a way you can check and see if you have any of the one on the website in the store??
RS kid: i'll check, but it would be out here if we did..
so i walk him through how to find the adapter on radioshack.com.. so he takes the item number and looks to see if they have any in the store..
RS kid: hmm... that's weird.. it says we have them in stock..
he walks BACK to the shelf, and continues to look there (we both know it's not there)..
davepeck: maybe you have them in back??
RS kid: hmm.. i'll check.. uh.. do you know what size tip you need, cause you'll need to know that.
davepeck: yeah, i need an H, and it comes with 3 different ones, including the H, so i'll be fine.. (oy...)
RS kid shows back up in about a minute with the adapter in hand.. GO FIGURE!!
i swear, getting hired at radioshack is like being selected for a jury.. in order to be picked, you must have NO prior knowledge of ANYTHING you're gonna be dealing with.. scary!

Check that post out. I don't know if you have the 2 prong adapter but I got THIS.
interesting.. i'll have to see if i still have my foreign adapter.. that will come in handy for a backup..
thanks again, everyone. +t's all around..
