I think you meant 220V :-). 110V 50 Hz would be a pain to find, I think :-).

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.
