- I just recently put a 8372A Agnus in my 500 and modified it to have 1
- meg of chip ram... :) :) :) :)
-
- I tried to put a PAL switch on it tonight.. (Hardware, so it boots up
- in PAL.. I can't seem to get it to boot in PAL from software (Degrader)
- and if I use inPAL the bottom of the screen is STILL cut off....)
-
- Anyway, after much toil and poking and pushing, I thought I got it in,
- but to no avail.. So I cried a little :) and put 'er back together..
-
- Does anyone know of an EASY way to do this?
-
- Here's how I was doing it:
-
- I cut a hole in the side of my amiga (did the same for my 000/030 for
- my MMR) and have a little switch, wires, etc.. easy. :) I took the
- Agnus out, bent pin 41 up and back, put a teeny piece of tape to cover
- the "inside" of the pin, and poked the wire in there, secured it a little
- by pushing the wire inside the hole where the pin was, and popped the
- Agnus back in.
-
- yet when I booted, I would get a black line (100 or so lines?) horizontal
- moving from the centre up to the top of the screen, disapeer, and I'd
- get the boot picture.. But it was in pal even when I had it on ground!
- No doubt about it, pin 41 was grounded, but still in PAL mode..
-
-
- Anyway... I take it you can't get the entire PAL screen without it
- being in PAL mode *before* the screen is sized originally, same as
- you can't really go into overscan by loading a overscan preference
- when booted from a non-overscan preference file. Am I making sense?
-
- It's late... But if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc, let me
- know...
-
- Don't flame me, though.. I haven't got an "-MB-" in my sig.. <smirk>
