I am thinking of getting a piece of US IBM PC equipment (CDROM drive)
and it works off 110V mains.  Could someone please help me to know
how easy it is to run this off UK mains (220-240 V)?  Does a simple
voltage convertor work (even though it doesn't change the Hz from 60
to 50)?

Thanks very much for any help.
