Hi,

Probably some of you have already done this. I have an equipment, a
parsytec xplorer, that runs a 220v. I got it from across the pond.
Since I am in the states and the power output is 110v, is there any way
for me to run this without getting a transformer to pump it up to
220v??? Unfortunately, the parsytec doesnt convert automatically like
PC and laptops of today. In my apartment, there is a funny looking plug
next to out AC. I remember somewhat vaugely that it is actually 220v.
Is this true??? How did you guys solve this problem???? I want to get
a good solid response before I blow up the machine :-)

Ram
