	A friend of mine is moving to France from Toronto and is worried 
about problems that he may have with his ST. He has a step-down transformer 
to get to 120 V, but can't do anything about the difference in frequency. 
I expect that there won't be a problem for the computer itself, since it 
rectifies everything to DC anyway, but what about the colour and monochrome 
monitors, and the hard disk drive (sorry, I didn't think to ask the make). 
He also has Spectre 128 and the Translator. Are there any other problems he 
should be aware of, such as incompatibility of European software on North 
American machines?

	Any info would be greatly appreciated. You can mail to me directly or 
post to the net, since I read the Bitnet compilations regularly.
