- Hey Chris! Lucky boy...
- You know, the same thing happened to (our friend) Eric, the thing he got was
- just a board with no cover, but it worked fine outta the box... just no color.
- Anyway, ya don't need color to make sure our demos work fine in PAL from now
- on... just don't start coding in PAL eh?
-
- My big question - any overseas people know where I (an American) could get a
- cheap PAL 64? Any of you interested to swapping an NTSC 64 for a PAL 64? (I'm
- not too sure exactly what you'd do with an NTSC 64, unless you make a diskmag
- and want it working 100% for NTSC-users... I've heard of that before - Script
- from Clique is made on an NTSC 64!). What does a 64 cost in European areas?
