BASIC Stamp 2 with wall power supply

I have a 9 volt, 1.3 amp wall power supply(AC adapter).· Basically I want to know if it will do anything bad to my chip if I connect it.· As I understand it, there are regulated and unregulated wall power supply.· This one doesn't say anything about being regulated, and it cost $9 so I assume its unregulated.· I don't know if that matters or not, since I think there is a voltage regulator on the board that is supposed to ensure a constant 5 volts for the chip

Thanks

    Make sure that the barrel connector is center positive.· The 9v at 1.3 amps should be just fine.· If there isn't a barrel jack connector, make sure that you use Vin on the BASIC Stamp to connect your red lead and Vss for the·black lead.
