Hi all...

Got a new ISP and they actually have some decent newsgroup coverage, so
this is my first post here in probably a decade... HA!

Anyhow, just had a thought - does your gear over there use the same three
pin IEC connectors on the back? If so, what prevents anyone taking a US
110vac rig and sending it over to your side of the pond, and then
someone plugging in a nice
British 240vac (that's what it is?) line cord with a British mains plug and
the same IEC on the unit, and POWW!!!

Just curious...

BTW, I sure wish IEC connectors were locking... :- )

Yep, pretty much a world-wide mains connector. I've seen a fair number
of pieces of test equipment blown up 'cause someone hadn't checked that
the 115-230V selector switch wasn't set correctly though.
