A friend of mine is moving to France from Toronto and is worried about problems that he may have with his ST. He has a step-down transformer to get to 120 V, but can't do anything about the difference in frequency. I expect that there won't be a problem for the computer itself, since it rectifies everything to DC anyway, but what about the colour and monochrome monitors, and the hard disk drive (sorry, I didn't think to ask the make). He also has Spectre 128 and the Translator. Are there any other problems he should be aware of, such as incompatibility of European software on North American machines? Any info would be greatly appreciated. You can mail to me directly or post to the net, since I read the Bitnet compilations regularly.

I live in Switzerland and study in the USA, and have had no problems using a step down transformer to run monochrome, but in colour, I replace the TOS chip with one available at most dealers over there that changes the move #sync,$ffff820a instruction. -- Greg
