Well, there are also Amigas in Europe, you know. (at least in England,Germany,
and France). The french ones do handle 220V and 50Hz (and they have vertical
resolution of 256 instead of 200)
As a matter of fact, I own an American Amiga (I am an early developper),
with a transformer for french voltage.
I suggest you ask Commodore France (for example) if they have some left.
