Buy the PowerKey Classic. I purchased one for my SE/30 in May 2007, direct from the manufacturer. They still had stock at the time. It works beautifully. Since I live in Japan, a country that trivializes the importance of an earth ground, I asked Sophisticated Circuits about compatibility. Here is what they told me:

The PowerKey Classic has 1-way surge protection (1 MOV, between hotand neutral only), and should be fine in Japan. (In fact, we sold

tens of thousands of them there.) We even have some japanese

localized software for it! (The Classic, however, was only made with

the 3-prong plug – we never produced a version with the 2-prong plug

& separate wire. I'll throw a grounding adapter in, though.)
Japan also uses 100V power at either 50Hz or 60Hz (depending on where you live), but the PK Classic works just fine for me.
