1. Can I use an 110V/60hz ImageWriter II/LaserWriter II in a 220V/50hz country
(using a converter from 110 to 220)? any experience?
2. If I can, can I use Thuderscan with such an IW?
Thanx,
-amir kishon

Howdy -- seems that there are lots of questions like this on the net right now. Anyway -- Imagewriter I or II will work on 50 Hz, 110 V; -- LaserWriters (accd. to Apple) will not - you need to have the power supply swapped out; -- Thunderscan - sorry, don't know. I've been using a Mac Plus, IW I and 65Mb Seagate drive here since Oct. 86 using an industrial grade 220 to 110 V step-down transformer with no problems whatsoever. I'll be glad to provide any additional info you might need - please email. good luck, Bryan

ImageWriter II also, according to Apple "won't work"; mine does just fine, however, with a step-down transformer. For a Mac and an ImageWriter you'll need 250W or so. LaserWriters also aren't supposed to work like that, but I know one LW in Germany where I used to work that's been doing it merrily for over 3 years now...ignorance can be bliss, I guess. A ThunderScan takes power directly from the Mac, so it works just fine. I ran one on my U.S. Mac operating on 220V in Germany while I was there. -cbb -- Chris Borton borton%uva@mcvax.{nl,bitnet,uucp} Rotary Scholar & Network Administrator, University of Amsterdam CS
