Apple made PSUs for your (and my) region:

Model No A2M4016
Input 220-240V ~ 50Hz 30W
Output 15V DC at 1.2A 18W

The are standard 7 pin DIN female line sockets on the PSU. Looking at the
//c we have

	 /-_-\
	/7   1\
	|6   2|
	\5   3/
	 \_4_/

1	N/C
2,3	power ground
4	shield ground
5,6	+15v DC
7	N/C

The DIN sockets are standard 270 degree parts (angle between pins 1 & 7).

The plug/socket are standard DIN connectors. Apple's use for power connections
is somewhat unique - normally they are line level audio connectors etc.
