The adjustable adapters do not adjust their voltage automatically. There's a switch on the front for that. The amperage is as Len described.
If you're a little handy, the Zip drive wall warts are 5V output and are often in the $5 bin at Goodwill Computer Stores. I'm not sure about the amperage. You'd need to be careful not to exceed the rating. The advantage of a Zip drive adapter is that you might save a few bucks. The adjustable Radio Shack adapters are $20 - $40 depending on the amperage rating and some of them have 6V as the lowest output rating, instead of 5V. They're really designed to replace multiples of 1.5V cells. You can get this: <http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp? productId=3807941> for about $4. If you splice this onto the wires of your own AC adapter (the Zip wall wart, e.g.) then you can use all of the myriad Adaptaplugs that Radio Shack has available with your own wall wart, instead of paying $20 - $40 for the wall wart. Radio Shack really has a dizzying array of power plugs available in their Adaptaplug line and they all plug into that socket.
