Turns out, 500ma is about the minimum CZ-101 needs to operate properly and I had only tried adaptors that were rated less than this.  I looked through my adapters and found one that could supply up to 850ma and the CZ powered right up when I connected it.

You beat me to it!  You *always* want power supplies that can supply more current than the equipment draws, and at roughly the right voltage.

I run all my 9V kit off a regulated 9V 12A power supply, with a couple of individually fused splitter cables (two or three cables fused at 2A each).
