Re: A1200 PAL vs NTSC

I recently purchased a nice A1200 complete in the case and a NTSC unit (which I wanted). The problem is that the mobo revision doesn't support Subway USB adapter I bought (the clock port is on the wrong side). I have another A1200 motherboard that is PAL and has the right clock port pins, but my question is, how can I make the PAL motherboard a NTSC one? Are there chips I can swap out? Traces I can cut or build?

Anybody have an idea?


Where are you located?  I have a NTSC A1200 in an Elbox Tower case, I'd swap my NTSC board for the PAL one with the correct pins.

I would need to check the clockport pins on my NTSC board first though.

Yeah I can always go back to doing that but I was hoping that I'd somehow be able to swap something and make it happen more easily. :-\ We'll see if anybody else has any ideas.


Is there a particular reason why you want a NTSC model?  Is it that you want to connect it to a regular TV?  If you can live with PAL and have a monitor with a VGA connector then look for one of those cheap RGB-VGA boxes that people use, rather than an expensive scan doubler.
