Author:burman@brl.arpa Request: I am interested in purchasing a 520ST or 1020ST (if they are available in the not tooooo distant future) while I am visiting the US. To date I am still, however, debating whether it will be with a monochrome or colour monitor, but whichever way I decide to go I can forsee problems. At the end of my stay I will be returning to Australia and have to plug into the local 240 VAC 60 Hz supply. I can easily use a step-up transformer for the CPU-keyboard and Disk , only one more transformer to add to the rats nest under the computer table. What has me worried though is the question of whether the monitor uses line frequency for the screen generation for either of these types of monitor. Since I will be passing through Europe on the way back from the US I could of course buy a machine over there for PAL/240 VAC/60 Hz system. Is there any information available on prices in Europe for these machines?. I would be interested to hear from anyone who could help me. Thanks in advance for any assistance. N.M.

As there are three of four requests by mail and now a request here on the net, I now will post the list prices here in Germany for the ST-series: 520ST+ (1MB), SM124 (Monitor monochrome), SF354 (Floppy 360KB) : DM 2998,-- 260ST (512KB) : DM 1298,-- SM124 (Monitor monchrome) : DM 598,-- SC1224 (Monitor color) : DM 1298,-- SF354 (Floppy 360KB) : DM 598,-- SF314 (Floppy 720KB) : DM 798,-- Mouse : DM 148,-- All prices include all taxes, so if you buy in Germany a 520ST and then you take it with home (this means you export it), you can subtract 14% an all prices. Further: 1 US$ ~ DM 2,50. Uwe Hoch Computer Science Department, University of Dortmund 4600 Dortmund 50, P.O. Box 500500, W.-Germany E-mail address: uh@unido.uucp, uh@unido.bitnet
