All features documented in the Commodore Hardware Reference Manual, work as written there.


As long as they feel that this is enough to ensure 100% compatibility, and from some posts by the members of the NatAmi team I've seen they seem to, there will be problems.

Duplicating the undocumented behavior and timing of the original chip set is essential to achieving 100% compatibility.

Erm... It should do in NTSC mode... but that's providing of course that you can hook it from it's 23 pin socket to the NatAmi's Amiga Video output in some way of course... :)


That's not enough. The NatAmi would also have to either run off of or synchronize itself to the 28Mhz clock and the H and V Sync signals provided by the genlock, and the NatAmi would also have to provide the pixel switch signal to the genlock.

And I'm guessing it can do none of those things.

he is trying to use a PAL amiga with a NTSC genlock ... go figure!


Shouldn't matter. When plugged into a genlock, the Amiga is clocked by the clock on the genlock, not the clock on the motherboard. Plugging an NTSC genlock into a PAL Amiga should turn your PAL Amiga into an NTSC one, at least in theory.
