Or go to Radio Shack and get one of those "international traveler" power  
converter packs.

I have a number of systems (ok, yes, they're old) that a) do not have  
autosensing power supplies (someone has to get a paperclip and flip a  
switch), and b) will not work on 208v -- 120 or 240, but not 208.
