I plan to take my Amiga to New Zealand with me later this year.  Their 
power is 230V, 50hz.  I've heard of people that have taken Amigas to
Europe and gotten them to work at 50hz with the proper voltage converter.
Q1: Did I read that 1.2 senses what frequency it is given and conforms to it?
Q2: Can the Amiga really handle 50hz?  The specs rate it from 54-64hz.
Q3: If 50 is too low, are there frequency converters available to bring it
    back up?
I would also appreciate any recomendations anyone has on voltage converters.
I would hate to pay for shipping, only to find out I can't use my beloved
Amiga in New Zealand.  Thanx.
