For trade: TRS-80 MC-10 (really cool small computer)!

I'm guessing that Canada is 120V AC, NTSC?

I'm not so interested in the TRS-80, but what would you want to part with that slice of American cheese?

Well, the MC-10 uses a AC (to DC?) wall-wart type power supply (output 8V, 1.5A), so I assume that if you can find a transformer that works on your country's power system, but outputs the correct voltage, it should work.

As far as the output goes though, it is NTSC. There is an online hack to convert the RF output to composite, but that would still be NTSC.

NTSC composite is much nicer than NTSC RF for us with PAL monitors and TVs.

One can also buy a step-down (step-up?) converter from ~110V to ~220V. There are a bunch of options.

I have a cheese slice very similar to the one pictured.

I can offer it to you for a very resonable price.

Turns out it was worth $28.54. I thought it might go higher. Oh well.

Anyone want a Color Computer 3 with the hard to find RGB monitor? Think of the OS9 fun you could have with that!
