A friend of mine just moved to Germany (to marry the girl of his dreams),
taking his Mac SE with him.  He is wondering if it would be possible to
run a US Imagewriter II in Germany using a transformer to provide 120V.

I have heard that printers will not work properly at the wrong power
frequency (50Hz as opposed to 60Hz).  Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks!
