- General Information
- ===================
-
- 1.2 Release Version Number
- ==========================
-
- This release of kickstart will have library version number 33. Use
- this version number in OpenLibrary if you are using new 1.2 functions
- or features. Abort gracefully if the OpenLibrary fails.

-
- PAL Support
- ===========
-
- - This release can be used with either PAL or NTSC; if your Amiga has
- the proper custom chip for PAL, you get 256 horizonal lines on the
- display (512 if you've chosen Workbench Interlace in Preferences) and
- the 50 Hz refresh rate required by the PAL standard.
-
- - THIS RELEASE ALSO DETECTS THE FREQUENCY OF THE AC LINE CURRENT
- (EITHER 50 or 60 Hz) AND AUTOMTICALLY USES THE RIGHT FREQUENCY WHEN
- UPDATING THE AMIGA'S INTERNAL CLOCK.
-
-
-
- Peripherals
- ===========
-
- - Long-persistence monitors are now available that work well for
- interlaced displays (third party).
-
- - You can now use 5-1/4" disk drives with your Amiga 5-1/4" disks can
- be used as limited-capacity Amiga disks To install a new disk drive,
- see the description of the CLI mount command in "New Information for
- the 1.2 AmigaDOS User's Manual" that follows. Mount the drive as
- df1: / Unit 1 if you have no external 3 1/2, as df2: / Unit 2 if you do.
