I am thinking of getting a 386 with VGA and two hard drives (possibly
2x80+meg). However, I will be going to Europe for a while and am 
thinking of bringing the system along. My question is: 

Will the VGA monitor and card, hard drives and CPU be compatible
with the 220 volts 50 Hz AC input? Is a step-down transformer enough
to power up the montior, hard drives and CPU or are these dependent
on the cycle of the voltage input?

Any help (preferably via email) will be deeply appreciated.
