I am about to buy a Mac+. Sometime in the future I shall return to
Europe, and would like to bring it with me. Now, in Europe, there is
220 volt rather than 110 V current, and the frequency is 50 Herz rather
than 60.

What effect will this have on my Mac? Harddisk? Imagewriter II?
Software (e.g. will the clock in Sidekick run at the correct rate)?

Are there any precautions I can take before ordering the equipment
(customizing it somewhat)?

Will an american Mac interface properly with equipment bought in Europe?
