That is true, but ONLY for the INTERNATIONAL Mac Plus version.  Beware--there
is an American analog board AND an international.  I know from hard
experience that they're different, and clipping the lead (not flipping the
switch) on the American power supply and then giving it 220V resulted in a
pretty but short fireworks display and killing the breaker switches for the
entire dorm floor :-(.
