|  Re: PAL or NTSC does the computer mind?
If the computer is coming from the US or Canada, then you'll definately have problems. First off you'll need a power transformer for it. Either use one from a European Plus/4, or get a 230-to-115 volt transformer.
Then you need to worry about the picture on your television. If your television is fairly new it may already be able to display NTSC; check your manual. Otherwise you will need an NTSC to PAL conversion box.
I don't think a monitor would be of help here.... even though the monitor isn't displaying "NTSC" or "PAL", it's still looking for scan lines at a certain rate so that it can maintain a steady display. However, I have seen SCART connectors on Ebay that hook up to the Plus/4 monitor jack. This might solve your problem.
Note that any games or demos that depend on system timing (including music) might not perform to your expectiations.
