Funny you should mention France.  Your comments have given me
some pause in my thoughts of taking the Vector 2600 with its
Tandon drives to Paris.  The 2114's have been giving me enough
trouble as it is.  However, My sabbatical will not go well
without a machine with CP/M compatibility.  Any thoughts other
than those expressed?  I am leaving for Paris this Friday to
arrange my research collaborations;then will go back next May so
there is time to arrange things.  Also the French Government is
picking upo much of the tab.  Joel

The Osborne 1 can be configured so that at the flick of a switch,
it will be 110v/60Hz, or 220v/50Hz.(!)

I don't really have any further suggestions about using systems
in France in general...I believe that 2114s are available but a
bit more expensive, so again a few spares purchased here would
be helpful. Naturally, the quality of power systems varies from
place to place, and your colleagues can probably tell you if
they have had any trouble using computer equipment. If you are
going over to participate in one of the new government sponsored
computer research projects, there will probably be plenty of
technical help available by then for such problems.
