According to a tech I spoke to at Computer Era in NYC the other day,
the Classic power supply is Jumper configurable for different
voltages.  Ie. a tech has to open up the power supply and change
a jumper to allow it to operate on the other voltage.


I have no idea if this is the truth, but at least it would be better than 
having to swap the power supply.   Note that the supply is rated for a range
of frequencies from 47-63Hz (or there abouts).
