Hi,
IMHO, the most important thing would be a stable voltage & frequency. I
would think the output from something rotating would be a lot closer to a
sine wave that the output of a 12VDC-to-110/230VAC device, which sometimes
has only 5 steps peak-to-peak. An acquaintance was using one to run a VCR+TV
from his jeep battery in darkest Africa!
I wouldn't call a PC "sensitive electronics"! A lot of switching power
supplies these days are spec'd from 110VAC thru 240VAC, 50/60Hz. Surely,
some of this technology has rubbed off on the PC market!
Regards,

Subject: Generators + computers, special units or specs?
What do you think of mixing generators and Computers?
I stated what I "had heard" in another message.
My generators are pretty old.
One is 5500W,110v-([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or 220V from around 1985,
(and that is the _really_ new one...)
I can keep most old stuff running "almost forever"...
Are there certain "specs" to look for when using a generator on sensitive
electronics? I was afraid to even turn on the TV with what I have now...
(But, I "did" get to finally use that battery radio I bought for Y2K...)
