Hello Sparbook owners !

I just wondered if the power supply of the sparcbook has any provision =
for switching between US standard
voltage (127V is it ? or ?) to the European standard of 230 V. Some of =
the more well thought out electronics
equipment sometimes has this feature and since the Sparcbook seem to one =
such system i thought maybe it would.
Otherwise i guess the supply could easily be exchanged for something =
else that gives the same voltage and current ratings, except that its =
also a charger to the battery so the charging may not work or there =
might be some longtime damage to the battery possibly.

Are any of you people on the list located in Europe, and how dis you =
solve this ???

Thanks for any thought
Peter
