Before I have my American 1040ST sent over here to Holland, I would feel
much more confident if I could get some hard information from someone who's
done the same thing.  Not necessarily to Holland--I guess that all European
power is the same 220V, 50 Hz.  Have people tried this, and has it been
successful?  I was told that I only have to convert the voltage; the frequency
is supposed to be OK, since I have the monochrome monitor.  Any confirmations?

I was told that adaptor/transformers were easy to get in the US.
Unfortunately, I assumed they would also be easy to find here.  I can't
find anyone that has one.  Can anyone give me a recommendation on this?
Should I just buy a 2:1 transformer and solder something together?  Is
there any way this could get me in trouble?

Please respond to MARKS@HDETUD53 (BITNET).

Appreciatively,
