I will be travelling to Jordan next week for a two month stay.  I plan on
taking my Mac 512 along, but was recently told that there are problems with the
US power supply (burn-outs), requiring a $900 replacement of the analog board 
(local prices).  My prior experience in Jordan, with an Apple II Plus, which had
a convertable 220/110 power supply, tended to indicate that power wasn't
such a big problem.  Then, as now, the official Apple line is that there's
a rather large tolerance for cycle and voltage variation (+- 40 volts).  Has
anyone any experience using US macs in a 240v/50hz environment, particularly
in Amman?

Please send email; I will acknowledge replies if messages are received.
