    I'm traveling to India in a week where voltage is 240V and I am trying to find a transformer that will do the job. The problem is, I can find 240-->120 transformers for <50W electronics and >500W electronics; but my AC adaptor is 90W. Does anyone know of a place where I could buy the appropriate equipment? What IS the appropriate equipment? It would be better if I didn't have to buy online because I leave in less than a week.

    Thanks.

    Check the sticker on your power brick. Most of them will operate on 240 volts, meaning you only need a power cord or an adapter plug, probably available locally or in India.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
