[net.micro.mac] Overseas Macs

osmigo@ut-ngp.UUCP (01/28/86)

Does anyone have up-to-date information on how American Macs are fairing
overseas?  In particular, I am concerned about the following:
          1.  The effect on large memories (>512K) of static build-ups on
              flights.
          2.  Support for American machines by overseas dealers (compatibility,
              warrantees, etc).
          3.  Voltage differences (will a simple step-down transformer be
              adequate?).
          4.  Cycle differences (will a more elaborate transformer need
              to be used?).
          5.  Modem protocols.  In particular, are data communications stand-
                    i.e., could an American modem (say, following the Bell 212A
              standard) be used to link up with a English modem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
