Old Sega Genesis console says it needs a DC 9V 1.2A adaptor.
I have a bunch of 9V adaptors but they are a 9V 200mA to 500mA range.
I also have a 10V 1.2A adaptor that appears to be a SEGA adaptor.
What are the tolerances when it comes to a devices asking for a 9V 1.2A adaptor?
What are the tolerances in general on this topic?
I resolved my original issue of SEGA Genesis console emitting a loud buzz, something it is apparently known to do, by trying several adaptors I had.
So once again the console says it needs a 9V 1.2A adaptor.
Buzzing went away with a 9V 500mA adaptor.
It was still there with a 10V 1.2A adaptor.
It was still there with a 9V 300mA adaptor.
