[rescue] argh, what did I do? (Onyx)

[Thomas Gallaway]

Those might run on 220V 30AMP
The US ONYX's all are 220V 30amp ... only draw 10amp in rather
basic setup. As far as I know those are switched power supply's.
I dont exactly know what you would have to do to get it up on 220V
but I can find out.

Cja,
        Thomas
