I lived in the US for a couple of years after moving from the UK, and
ran a bunch of low power 240V applicances on a 110->250V transformer
which I picked up from Radio Shack for about $US140 - a bit pricey now
that I think about it. I didn't have my beeb at the time but like Angus
suggests it shouldn't be a problem.

UK BBCs do work in the US. I have two of them connected to a 110->250V
power
transformer, along with two UK monitors, and they are quite happy. I
don't
have a Master, but I wouldn't anticipate any difference. The question
was
whether we could remotely debug Elite on a Master; Faruz was somewhat
over
optimistic about what is required to be able to do this. I have tried
telephone/email debugging before, and it is not an easy task. In the
case of
hardware that you don't have specs of and don't have a local version of,
it
is almost impossible.
