No problem. Personally, I've not tried 6 volts yet. Many low voltage 
DC powered devices use a DC-DC power converter I believe. Figure out 
a way to secure / add strain-relief for the type "A" connector to the 
body of the recorder. Its my opinion that inadequate or disrupted 
powering is behind 95% of the incomplete disk writing occurrences 
with Hi-MD.  Rob D.
