I forget what the Brits are using - is it 240volts and 50Hz?
the British also have different wall-plugs (3 prongs, polarized) while
Germans have 2 prong, non-polarized) ... so, the question is, will the
purchase of simple replacement power-cables in Germany allow British Mac+ and
IW1 to work without problems in Germany?  yes, I finally got my hands on
a pair of those babies ....

and while we are at the topic of migrating hardware ... while I have hacked
the power-supply of British Macs to run on 110volts in the USA, I have not
found a way to convert the ImageWriter to run with 110volts .... has anyone?
