WTB: Amiga 600

But you will NOT get color out of the composite port in NTSC-land, just black and white.  The only way to get color out of this system is with a PAL friendly monitor or by using RGB.

Switching to "NTSC mode" doesn't help, nor would using an A520 modulator.

I'm sure there are people out there who'd like to be able to hook a 600 up to a big TV, as it really is geared towards the gaming end.

This doesn't sound true at all.  Especially that part about an A520 not working?  How the hell would an A520 know what fricken RGB port it's hooked upto?  

Beats me, but I've got a PAL 600 here that proves it, and my PAL 500 agrees.  Got any PAL hardware you can test to prove anything different?

I imagine that'd work great.... on a PAL monitor.  Though I don't have one of those to mess with.

If the PCEngines came from Japan (thought they were pretty popular there,) that could explain those working, Japan also uses NTSC.
