In the latest AMIGA Mail (July/August 1987) there is an article entitled
"Traveling With Your Amiga" (by Don Gilbreath and Dan Baker) which details
the changes needed.  In a nutshell, it requires a whole lotta changes: new
Agnus, new crystal, and a new power supply.

	Agnus	A500	part #318071-01
		A1000	part #252362-01
		A2000   part #252362-01

	Crystal	A500    part #252344-01
		A1000	part #252344-01
		A2000	part #252344-01

	Power	A500	part #312503-02/3/4
		A1000	part #327173-02/3/4

		where:	02 - BSI 240v
			03 - VDE 220v
			04 - SEV 220V
