ray....
check with compaq before buying a secondary source transformer...they may
well have a step down transformer of their own which would meet the power
stability requirements of your laptop....secondary source transformers,
while fine for your shaver or radio, may actually damage your computer...

if compaq does not have such a thingie, shop around for a good steady
current step down transformer with lots of flcutuating current safety
features [ i used sharps own 250/260 step down converter for my laptop
in Samoa but had a ge transformer with low tolerances for surges and
dropouts recommended to me as a safe alternative]....

avoid radio shack!!!!!! even their travel transformer for my shaver blew
up!!!
