Uhm.   According to the documentation for the STK-500 (page 2-1) the 
STK-500 will work with anything between 9 Volts and 15 Volts, AC or DC, 
@ 500 mA minimum.

Unfortunately, I am not in a position to purchase anything, at any 
price, until uly 3.  I don't want to wait that long to start learning to 
use the STK-500.  Thjis is my first ever use of a commercial development 
kit/board, and the learning curve is a bit steeper than I anticipated.
