On a less frivolous note, there are 3-terminal adjustable
regulators from TI (TI-783, IIRC) that will take up to
125V in. They are in the TO-220 package, however and AFAIK
are single sourced. Kind of like an LM317 with an integrated
DMOS output transistor. I don't think I'd use them in this
app though.
