Well, I went over to another department and looked at the new
machines.  The Macintosh Classic has a single voltage power supply
(rumor has it, to keep down costs.) This means that Apple sells a 110V
machine in some countries and a 220V machine in others.

Both the LC and the IIsi have self configuring 100-240 V supplies.  I'm
told that the 12" monochrome monitor is self configuring 100-240 V, but
the 12" color monitor comes in two flavors; a 110V only version for USA
sales, and a self-configuring version for overseas.

As always, this is subject to change without notice.
