A real trooper.  Mine has since learned to be more critical,
unfortunately.

It _will_ run off of 120.  If you tear off the Sun covers and look at the
specs on the powersupplies themselves, they should all be universal input
100-240V.

My hauling vehicle for a long time was an '86 Chevy Suburban.  Hauled a
VAX 11/750 and two full 7' DEC racks back with that one with room to
spare.

I currently use a 1978 Dodge Diplomat with no rear seat for a lot of heavy
hauling.  With open space clear from the trunk to the front seats you can
fit a heck of a lot in there.  On the lookout for a good crew-cab pickup
truck or full-sized van, though.  Or maybe a nice '68 Coronet station
wagon...  :)
