UK 1200 in the US?
« on: July 25, 2007, 02:19:47 PM »

Hi there,

    Yep it's me again.  I am considering purchasing an Amiga 1200.  My problem is that I live in the US and from what I can tell most 1200 were sold in Europe.  

    I realize that the power supply will have to be US compatible, but other than that is there any other problems with running say a UK 1200 in the US?   :-?


Thanks,

If I can\\\'t drop it and fix it, then it wasn\\\'t broken to begin with.  It just needed power applied.   :quickdraw:

  Is there a switch or mod internally that can be permannently set for NTSC?

Does anyone know or can point me to a 1200 Pal to NTSC mod? Is there simply a switch on the motherboard?  I can use a NTSC A500 power supply I know.   :roll:

  So what I am hearing is that aside from changing the power supply and booting to NTSC the A1200 PAL and the A1200 NTSC are functionally the same.  DC Power in is DC Power in.

  I am assuming the PAL RF output won't work on a NTSC tv. Will a US A520 work on the A1200 PAL RGB output and output composite video?  I may have missed something but does the A1200 have a composite video out already?       :-?

Thanks

Hi,

   Just got in the Amiga 1200 Service Addendium and it is not looking good.  Can anyone tell me if the PAL power input connector is the same five pin square as the US model?
