If the power pack is a transformer with a linear regulator stuck on the back and its the difference between 240 volts (as it is in Oz) and 120 volts then obviously no but IIRC don't one of you use the 'wimpy' 120 volts and the other use the even 'wimpier' 110 volts in which case it shouldn't make an awful lot of difference (given that your average voltage regulation at the household point is wildly inaccurate anyway, even accounting for the fact that these values are RMS)? Having said THAT I've got no idea what they use in Germany ... Of course, if the power pack is switchmode then it'd run on anything from 90 volts to 300 volts (or something like that, certainly it'd cover 110 to 240 volts) so it wouldn't matter ... Then again it just occurs to me ... since when did cardbus CD-RW's need external power packs (as opposed to drawing their power off the PC card)? I mean thats gotta defeat the purpose of having a take-anywhere setup ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
