A student here is planning to purchase an IBM-PC and use it in both the U.S.A. and in India. He wants to know what sort of voltage a/o frequency converter he needs so that he can use it in India, and where such a beast can be obtained. He knows that both power-line voltage and frequency have different values in India, but he does not know the specifics. My usual sources at IBM don't have time to pursue such an esoteric question. Any information would be appreciated, but, just to make things interesting, our local systems will be down for maintenance for the next few days. Please send information to LATZKO@CAIP.RUTGERS.EDU. Thanks. T.B.

Please send information to >LATZKO@CAIP.RUTGERS.EDU. Thanks. > T.B. Theresa, My project leader is currently in India with an IBM PC Convertible. He was told by Indian contacts that the standard convertible power pack would run on Indian current. I'll know in three weeks if that was true and if other IBM accessories are available in India.
