Whilst a machine strapped for 200V would probably be ok with a 10% overload (200->220), the 20% overload of 240V might do some damage. 240->110V transformers are readily available in England. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Jeremy Chatfield, Quadratron Systems (UK) Ltd. ihnp4!psivax!quad1!jeremyc mc0/ gould/ ______________________________________________________________________________
