[comp.sys.amiga] PAL-izing my 500

langz@athena.mit.edu (Lang Zerner) (12/07/87)

Hi--

In about 8.5 months, I'm going to be leaving the easy life of the MIT student
to go become a productive member of society.  I'll be moving to Reading,
England, since that is where my wife will be doing her teaching practicum for
her Boston U. M.A. in Education (and I like to be where my wife is, you
understand :-).  Can somebody tell me if there is some way I can make temporary
or permanent modifications to my Amiga 500 so that I can use it in a 50Hz,
220VAC environment (I'm perfectly happy to use my 1080 monitor, but I fear it
won't be too happy at 50Hz, even with a 220V-120V transformer).  I'll be there
for at least a year, probably three or four based on my previous love affair
with England, so I don't mind making major modifications as long as they can be
reversed.  As they say in the old country, thanks in advance.

P.S.  Since I'll be in Reading anyway, if anyone at DEC's new Thames Valley HQ
has any tips on getting a software systems QA or technical or tutorial
documentation position there, please mail me.  I've already injected my resume
via DEC chums here in the states, but the more the merrier as they say.
Be seing you...
