Using PAL Amiga 1200 motherboard in US machine

[mbrantley]

I am wondering.... my NTSC Amiga 1200 motherboard became ill and I sent it in for recapping but I understand it is showing some fault that has proven difficult to determine. It may become a lost cause, but I have a line on one or two PAL motherboards that are in working condition. I could have one recapped or just leave that alone until a problem develops.

Question.... Is there a downside to using a PAL motherboard in a former NTSC system in the United States? I have the original version of the Indivision and output from that (VGA connector) to a modern LCD monitor. I no longer have a need for the NTSC composite out that I used to use on this machine for video titling back in the 1990s.

Would I need a different power supply? Anything else to consider?

Maybe my 1200 motherboard will yet live again, but I'm not sure it's looking good for that.

Thanks, guys, for the information. I actually did use this particular 1200 back in the 1990s for some video work, either using the onboard composite or with a Supergen genlock. But these days the output will be entirely via Indivision. Thanks again!
