- It's easier than that. For all the Amigas that I know of since the early
- A2000s, the Agnus chip has been jumperable to operate at NTSC or PAL,
- whichever one you want. My personal A2000 has a toggle switch on the front
- which allows me to switch between the two modes at will (and another to
- switch between 1.3, 2.0, and 3.0, but that's another matter...)
-
- I don't know what the situation is for AGA machines, but I suspect it's
- similar. Now, if someone will chime in with the exact pin you need to
- futz with, you're all set...
