Iopener 240V in Australia?
Iopener 240V in Australia?

Does anyone know if it would be possible for me to use an iopener (or web player for that matter) here in Australia. The concern I have is the difference in power from outlets
(240V 50hz AC here in australia). Does anyone know what sort of power it requires (milliamps etc..)?

Many Thanks

Find a switching power supply that puts out 18-20VDC at around 2 amps or better and you will be OK.

http://www.jameco.com has a nice 20V 2.5A 100-240VAC @50/60Hz power brick PN 169076 for $19.95. It has the power to run any CPU (ie K6-III+ @ 500+MHz). You can even adjust the output voltage down to 19V just like the original iopener by turning a small pot.

You can also use a 240V to 120V converter and then you can use i-opener power supply. These are sold in the US for over-seas travel. With laptops and business travel, there's probably a lot of manufacturers. I've go one which has a dual power mode : 50 W and 1600W. Here's a link to the manufacturer.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I'd hate to think that the Koalas and Kangaroos here would be missing out on having an Iopener! :)
