Title: A1200 Motherboard NTSC or PAL?
Post by: dannyp1 on July 03, 2013, 05:15:49 PM

Is there a way to easily tell if an A1200 motherboard is NTSC or PAL by looking at it out of it's case?  Thanks

Two easy ways.

1. Look at the markings on the crystal oscillator. It's just to the left of the ROMs. If it says 28.63636 it's a NTSC motherboard. If it says 28.37516, it's PAL.

2. If there is a crystal just to the right of the IDE connector, it's PAL. If there isn't one there, it's NTSC.
