The pin configuration on the 240VAC PSU they supplied with my Courier was
of the 2-pin variety, same as the old UK ones, minus the earth pin.  Sure,
there are adapters readily available for these, but when you have a few old
electric jug leads lying about, why bother?  :)

I was actually far more surprised that although it's definitely a US/Canada
model Courier (running the 23-01-96 CID code), USR saw fit to replace the
110VAC supply with one appropriate for this country, without being asked.
