Amiga 1200 PAL <--> NTSC
« on: September 09, 2004, 12:59:02 AM »
I doubt this is possible, but I thought I would ask. I have an older Amiga 1200 NTSC model and a new Amiga 1200 PAL model. I don't suppose I could take the NTSC 'module' out of the Amiga 1200 NTSC one and put it in the PAL one could I? This would allow me to use the PAL (with the *new* NTSC module) Amiga in the USA!

Let me clarify what I have as it may help the discussion. I bought an Amiga 1200 (PAL) from eBay even though I live in the USA. When I plug this into my TV through an A520 everything looks fine, I just have no color (I understand why that is). I don't have the right lead to connect my Amiga 1200 to my 1084S through the RGB connection, but when I use RCA leads, the picture is once again fine, but still no color. I also have an NTSC 1200 that works fine (also bought from eBay), but before I sell it, I thought I would see if there was something I could do. Now, I could take out the 3.1 ROMS, the larger HD, the accelerator and put the new case on the NTSC one and just keep the PAL one for parts, but I thought there might be an easier way of doing things. On a side note, would buying the following from SoftHut fix my problem? -->

I apologize for not being Amiga technical and I do appreciate all the feedback and suggestions people are giving me. I'm just trying to figure out the best way of getting this Amiga 1200 (PAL) working on either a TV, or one of the numerous PC monitors I have. I'd like to get my Compaq 15" Flat Panel working on it, but I don't know how that will pan out.

Cheers!

I have both a 1084 with Cable that can connect to the Amiga 1200, and a 1084S-D2 which I don't have the proper cable for; looks like it requires a 9pin RGB Cable to 23 Pin Cable for the Video connection on the Amiga 1200. I saw one on this web site for http://www.4jays.com/xbox.html
$22, maybe I should just buy it?

I'm more interested in hooking up a larger PC monitor such as a 15" Flat Panel, or even my other 22" Diamondtron - for this application, I would need that Scandoubler from SoftHut I believe.
