So... wait. If I'm reading this right, then a //c is a //c is a //c, and
the external PSU is the voltage critical bit, and the RF box was what
made it a PAL device? Presumablly just with different ROMs for country
specifications.

If that's the case, I'm more into getting one from the US, where they
are much easier to find. I do have 110v convertors lying around. I'd
just prefer not to have to use them. I have NTSC capable monitors anyway
