Seriously, though, 20% should be OK for stuff attached to mains. 100% is right out! (i.e., plugging U.S. equipment into European power that isn't marked as rated for it). I have plugged my Sharp Japanese word processor into U.S. wall current with no ill effects, but it _might_ be rated at 100-120V on the side. It uses one of those standard consumer modular plugs that slightly resemble a figure-8 - the kind you see on cassette tape recorders and boom boxes. Speaking of Japanese units, has anyone out there played with a Japanese Sega Saturn? I have "Zork I" and "Return to Zork" that I'd like to load up, but the emulators I've found all choke on them. I need a real Saturn (either genuine for-the-Japanese-market, or a U.S. model with the SMT jumpers moved). -ethan The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
