- I put the mono-chrom composit out to my TV set, and it was able to handle the
- PAL scanning rates! Just had to adjust the size of the picture with the
- knobs behind the set. I also use PAL all the time on my 1084s. It just adds
- so much more room to the screen without having the interlaced flicker. It
- possible to see the flicker, but only if I go out of my way to see it.

- Actually HDTV may NOT be the same standard on both sides of the pond. My
- understanding (I subscribe to a video magazine) is that Europe is designing
- their OWN standard (analog at that) because they don't want to be dependent
- upon Japan's technology for their TV's. This will help build up some
- industry in Europe at the cost of being incombatible with the rest of the
- world. Of course, since the USA has yet to go to metric(was originally planned
- to happen back when I was in grade school in the 70's) I'm not sure if it is
- a major thing.
