- Well, if you want, you can continue to operate your amigas in PAL mode, therby
- not needing new monitors. However, changing the computer to NTSC mode (either
- perminently or add a PAL/NTSC switch) is very easy. It has something to do with
- grounding a pin on Agnus (pin 28, I think, I don't know for sure, I don't have
- my stuff with me) When the pin is grounded, it will operated the machine in NTSC
- mode, when not grounded, in PAL mode. I think there is a a jumper pad somewhere
- on the motherboard responsible for this. Check out the hardware/hack section of
- aminet for more info.
