That was WRONG. As Werner Uhrig <werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu> pointed
out in a private mail, directly use 220 power on a Mac+ will damage it.
Sorry for the inaccurate information. Hope it did not do any damage. I
have already cancelled the original article.

But nevertheless, you don't need a special transformer, Mac+ will work
under 50Hz and 60Hz power. So you don't have to have a special
transformer, a usual one will do it. (I checked the Mac+ owner's manual
this time.)  And If you have a SE/30, it will run on 220V 50Hz.(It is
written in the SE/30 owner's manual and on the back of the SE/30).
