Is the MAC dependent on the mains frequency in any way?
I want to bring mine over to Europe where 50 Hz is what comes
out of the plug. I guess that the real-time clock would be
something you often control by the mains. I'm not worried
about the video frame rate, since switchable terminals are
always run at 60 Hz rate anyway in order to minimze the flicker,
and that works fine.

I suppose that the voltage will be the problem, since the supply
is probably not switchable to 220 V. (At least it wasn't on 
Apple II)
