A while back, I posted a question about converting a Classic to run on 220V.
I managed to get what I believe to be a definitive answer from within Apple.
The Classic power supply may look as if it can easily convert between 220V
and 110V by changing a jumper. However, some parts on the input side of the
110V version weren't designed for higher voltages.

Bottom line: if you want to take your Classic overseas, get a transformer.
Or get an SE instead (which has a univeral power supply).
