Use What In Europe?

I made the move from the US to Europe some years ago and have not experienced any problems except for having (i.e. wanting) to exchange a NTSC Agnus with a PAL one in my A1000, but with the current Amigas I believe, that they will 'feel' the 50/60 Hz power and boot in the corresponding PAL/NTSC mode automatically. Just make sure, that you get a true 220 V -> 110 V transformer e.g. a heavy one with a copper coil around an iron core. You probably will be able to buy one in Scotland in an electronics store for hobbyists or check the Computer Shopper, where I found one, which I built into a box. Once you have your 110 V, modems, printers etc. will work just fine albeit not necessarily legal, but just don't tell anybody. The telephone wall plug, however, may be different.
