RE: 9VAC from 5VDC?

I don't believe DC to AC convertors are very common, I have always had to
make one with the small handful of parts I mentions.  A transformer by
itself won't do anything (but get warm)if connected to 5VDC on its input.
You could use a transformer from the AC mains 117AC to 9VAC  and it would
be floating as well.

I'm sure if you went and poked around Digikey you could find a nice off
the shelf, isolated 5VDC to +- 12 or 15 VDC, board mounted converter that
would supply a couple hundred ma.
God only knows what it would cost. Your first born or the pound of flesh
nearest your heart or something.
