Thanks!  I just started delving into the wiki and appreciated the links.
In looking at the specs, I don't see voltage details.  Since I am
considering taking it to Europe, I need to know if it is 110/220v
50/60Hz....  I suspect it is and is only lacking the country power
adapter.  Does it have a transformer from 110/220v to 12v?  use 50 or 60
Hz?
