[net.micro.mac] Differences between European and North American MAC?

bwp@utcs.UUCP (Bruce Pinn) (02/26/85)

Could anyone tell me the differences between a North American and a
European MAC?  Is there a 110/220 volt power supply?  Likewise can you
switch between 50/60 hz?
				Thanks in advance

The Macintoshes delivered in Europe have the following
specifications (also stated on the back of the Mac):
220-240V AC
50-60Hz
0.5A
60W
So, you don't need to switch anything for the frequency,
what's the difference between 50 and 60Hz anyway? (10Hz, thank you.)
You cannot switch the Mac's powersupply from 110 to 220V,
a transformer is needed.
