In my SGC supplement it makes no mention of amperage. As it will only take what it needs I suspect a 1A supply would probably be fine.

Don't take my word though, see if someone else confirms that!

Good stuff, thanks for confirming Dave. Then 1A is plenty, even 500ma would do it. May as well chop up a USB cable, put a barrel on the end and use a USB to mains adapter thing - most of those seem to be at least 1A.
