Title: A2000 PAL problem
Post by: TjLaZer on June 09, 2007, 09:25:29 PM: I have what seems a earlier edition 2000 here, with a 4.1 rev MB. It had Kickstart 1.2 in it when I got it, but put in 1.3. Has 1MB Chip, not sure which Agnus is in it, I think Fat? Problem is I cannot get it to display a PAL screen in WB. When I invloke a PAL command screen goes black, if I type in NTSC it goes back to normal screen. But some games that load into PAL work fine? Its weird. Also I thought all 1MB Chip machines had the PAL capability?

My original A2000 was a 1.3 box with 512chip + 512 semi-fast, so I would think yours is really a 512k chip box

I don't like it, the machine is crap damn it! the mobo is bought from m.rubisch , and is excellent as hardware, but I found the a2000 to be a total disapointment...
I am spoiled from my 4000's...

Post by: keropi on June 10, 2007, 10:22:33 AM: I won't bother anymore with it I think... it has a picassoII, 2MB chip expansion, and a GVP 030/40 accel with 16MB fast...
