Hoax or true? Petro could get a batch of 1500x A1200

Not interested in NTSC crap.

Isn't the difference basically grounding one pin on Alice and the PSU?
(And lets face it, the A1200 PSU is the worst of them anyway..)

Gulliver is right, if you compare a real PAL machine between an NTSC one in PAL mode, the faster oscillator noticeably affects games and demos.

Interesting.. How so?
Do the PAL games run faster or slower on an NTSC machine?  Other issues?

I haven't noticed it, but I don't have a true PAL machine to compare it to..
I just tell WHDload to go into PAL and they seem to run fine.
(Again, not having a real PAL machine to compare them to)

And using a 1084S, I don't worry about composite or RF issues.

There were also tales of former Commodore plants in the Philippines continuing to produce Amigas well after CBM went under, reports from witnesses say the lights were on and Amigas were still being produced in November 1994, authorised by the Philippines government to try and claw back money owed from CBM under supervision from soldiers!

So, since they were owed money from Commodore, who was now out of business...
They decided to best way to get money was to build more machines that Commodore would never be able to buy?

I'm not a business savvy person, but I'm not sure that would be a good idea...  :laugh1:
