Very well in my experience, I have even run a 9114B on a tiny 6V 1500mA power cube, and no battery, without any problems initializing, reading or writing diskettes.

That may depend on the quality of the AC adapter. Mine would not work on a generic brandless 6V 2A switching power supply. Then I changed to another brandless 6.5 V 2.5A switching power supply for Olympus digital cameras and it worked flawlessly. No problem ever since.
