Greetings !

The AC adaptor I got with my sparcbook works with 220V, I just had to
replace the plug.
"part no. ZVC-55-12-G, Tadpole Technologies, Series 2 AC Adapter, input
110-240V, 50-60Hz"

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> I just wondered if the power
supply of the sparcbook has any provision for switching between US standardvoltage
(127V is it ? or ?) to the European standard of 230 V. Some of the more
well thought out electronicsequipment 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 ???
