It's a step backwards, all right.  I called Apple to confirm; only the LC has a
self-configurable power supply.  Knowing Apple, if you want to take an si or
classic out of the US, you'll probably have to pay big $$ to get a universal
supply installed - once you get to your destination (that's what happened with
our scanner).

Ironic, isn't it?  The 'low end' machine - compact,  color, a IIe emulation mode,
a potential LCS screen from Dynamac (making it pseudo-portable), a universal
power supply, etc.  Soulds like the machine everyone wanted in the first place...
