Ken Chochran wanted to know what was necessary to convert a UNIX-PC
power supply to 240 V 50 Hz.  I am using a US UNIX-PC in Belgium(and
have been for 18 months) with nothing more than at simple transformer.
The clock is a crystal oscillator so does not depend on line
frequency. I have had zero problems and the system stays on 24 hours a
day 7 days a week.  So if you buy a simple transformer it works like a
charm but beware of the little franzus thingies that plug into the
outlet for hair dryers.  They will cause big problems.
Cheers
