[GreenKeys] Siemens T100 on ebay

[Henry Minsky]

Hey, I wonder, if you buy a  Uninterruptible
Power Supply from Europe or Japan, if they are switchable to
generate 50 or 60 Hz, 120/220 etc. It would probably have to be a
pretty big unit though, because running (especially starting!)  the 
electric motor is probably
more of a strain than running the nice polite computer equipment they are 
used to.
