There have been several comments about using 6300s and 7300/3B1s in Europe.
The question is about power and it has been generalized too much.  It is
true that the 6300 has a jumper in the power supply to switch from 110 to
220 volts.  With the green monitor, this is all you have to do to use it
in Europe.  The same is *not* necessarily true about the 7300/3B1.  The
6300 is made by Olivetti, the 7300 by Convergent Technologies, and the
only thing they have in common is the label they are shipped with.  I do
not know if the 7300/3B1 has this jumper or the equivalent, but before
anyone assumes they will have no problem moving a 7300 to Europe, they
need to check this out.
