If you have >the universal supply, you will not need a stepdown transformer. careful with step-down transformers! there are two kinds - one for "simple stuff" like water heaters, hair driers, and such. these put out 110V, but very spiky voltage. don't use these for electronic equipment. i trashed my power supply for my zip-drive using one of these here in germany. it worked for a day and a half, and died just before i could copy my thesis to my hard drive. luckily only the power supply died - the drive works with the new, german power supply. now i have two zip drives and only one power supply. i'm just glad that i have a parallel and a scsi now - even more universally universal! also note that most step-down transformers that i saw in the states have european-style prongs, but sockets in europe are also recessed, so that you need an additional plug-converter. and if you want to keep the two transformers from overheating each other, it may be wise to put another plugadapter between them. makes for nice plug-towers and very unreliable electrical connections considering the quality of most of the plug-adapters... fried once, axel ....................................................................... .
