-
- These projects take a considerable amount of time to develop and build but
- I will eventually get there in the end. If anyone has any ideas for other
- testgear projects then let me know via Email, see below. Calibrated
- versions of a Project? will be for the AMIGA A1200, although they will
- work on the A500, A500(+) and A600 also but NOT calibrated.

- Testing Evaluation:-
- --------------------
-
- All projects were intended for use with both NTSC and PAL in mind.
-
- I have received many Emails confirming that the projects to ~Project11~
- work on just about every AMIGA setup and OS available today, including a
- CDTV. This includes graphics cards, accelerators, extra memory etc...
- and with the correct parallel port cable assembly, an A1000.
