  Does anyone know what problems and modifications one will encounter
when taking a C-64 computer purchased in the U.S. to England?  I know
that the C-64 uses the 60 Hz. frequency for timing.  What affect will the
50 Hz. power in England have?  A step down transformer will be used to
get the voltage down to 120 volts.  Can modification kits be purchased
or can Commodore modify the computer to run properly in the UK?  Also,
how will the 50 Hz. power affect the 1541 disk drive also purchased
in the U. S. 

   Please reply by mail to sct@lanl or post on the net.  Thanks in
advance.
