[comp.sys.mac.hardware] WANTED: DeskWriter Help!

drz@po.CWRU.Edu (David R. Zinkin) (12/15/90)

Has anyone tried to use the HP DeskWriter 110V power supply with
a transformer, instead of using the 220V power supply?  Our HP
supplier can't seem to get a 220V power supply and I'll be leaving
for Munich soon.  Can it harm the DeskWriter to use a transformer?

Thanks,
 -- Dave

Dave,
   I would suspect that you would have a much easier time getting a 220 v
transformer from HP in Europe itself. Why not wait and check out the
German HP rep when you get over there.

Daivd,

half a year ago I took a HP DeskWriter from the US here to Switzerland.
I'm using a 220V->110V Transformer without any Problems, and I'm using it
quite often.

Hope this helps.
