PC110 and its power supply in Europe

Hello.
I have PC110 but I cannot use it. I got it with original Japanese adapter, i.e. 100V input (not 110/220). In Europe useless, of course.

If something similar happens I go and buy European adapter. But this adapter is a little atypical. Output is 10,5V/1,3A.
Current is not important, voltage is important. Im affraid to use higher voltage, there is risk of damage. And this machine is too rare.

Im looking for right adapter, on net, in shops, but i cannot find anything.
Voltage in adapters for notebooks is too high, in adapters for PDA is too low. I found only some industrial adapters, but they were unusable because of form (other type of cable).

Could someone advise?

I have a PC110. It runs perfectly off a generic 9V adapter.
I believe this topic was discussed on various PC110 resources (just google them).
Thanks,
Val
P.S. Odd enough I got my first PC110 from a guy from Praha :D .

Vkim, thank you.

I will try it. I would not expect 9V is sufficient.

P.S. There are more interesting things in Praha ...:-)

Praha is a very nice place. I've been there. :)

By the way, if you don't need the original Japan power adapter and are willing to sell it, send me a PM.
Thanks,

Val
