I want to take my old Sony Dicsman D-5 in the car with me,
the problem is that it requires 9 volts and 1/2 amp.

I'm not a e.e., but from the course in college (a few years, now)
I remember something like this (12 to 9 volts) is just a resistor,
a zener diode, and an NPN transistor.

I figure someone should have done this already with real parts.
So if you'd like to share a schematic with me, I'd be very
grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Brian S Walden
