I didn't twig to what you were saying right off -- H.V. made me thing you
were using 220 VAC or something -- now that's hacking!

Anyway, I think that if you were going HV to LV, you might have it
(relatively) easy, but to step up, you'd either need to change your
controller, put some sort of fast buffering in line, or transformers.  The
first is probably the only one that's remotely possible, in a computing
context, if you don't want science project stuff hanging off your box.

But, I'm no expert here -- this is strictly general electronics knowledge.

Cheers,
