I have a very reliable and trusty emac in UK that I would like to take

wuth me when I visit US for a few months.

But will it work on the US and Canada elec sytem?

Apart from the voltage differences there is the mains wire so that would

obviously need replacing.

But I'm wondering if that would be enough.

Does anyoe know if I could get it to work in the US?

Thanks for your help.

A:

The eMac's power supply must be switched to US by installing jumpers on the power supply and the line conditioning module, if one is installed.
