Hi

You can get the 1200 to boot into NTSC by holding down both mouse buttons as you boot, to take you to the early start up screen. Then from there you can toggle PAL or NTSC out put. Form memory you just have to press any key. Then just hook the cmpsite out to a TV, its not the best but itll work.

Hi

AFAIK these only really 2 ways to go on the 1200. Get a BlizzardPPC card and BVisionPPC. Or get a PCI backplane and a PCI gfx card. Neither is very cheap and the second method means you need to tower your 1200. Also native screen modes are a bit of a pain then.
