UK amiga in the US? Power supply question

[Homer]

Hi kvasir,

There is no frequency problem for the A1200, as its a dc input.

5vdc USA = 5vdc UK

Just got a 1200 from the UK yesterday.
Unhooked my current 1200 and plugged the new one in.
(I'm using a ATX power supply)
Booted up no problem.
(Now I just have to get used to the keyboard layout.)
 
 
Later,

True, though I was more worried about what the AC end of the PSU was expecting, if there's any difference in how a transformer flatlines 60hz and 50hz to DC, there might be some fluctuations coming in on the DC end. I'm thinking I just got an el cheapo converter, though. Useful for charging a cell-phone, not much more. (Not that my cell would even work over there. And if I had enough $$$ for a triband or sat phone, I'm sure a new charger wouldn't be a prob, either.. lol)

Your shaver was probably 110-240v 50/60Hz compatible anyway, so using the converter probably confused it due to the frequency difference.
(Just a guess as to why it ran slow).
