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.

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?

Nope. Just never heard of it. Especially in the video game world (people using old PCEngines etc in the US, I've never heard of people having b/w screens, just the normal 50hz/60hz issue)

I suppose I can understand the circuitry built into for the composite connector being different I guess, but don't know why a standard A520 getting the signals from R G and B off the RGB port wouldn't work, but who knows. Very strange.

I wonder if my genlock would work, that gives great composite out.  

A600 hooked to a TV would be sweet.  I think a PAL one would be a PLUS as I wouldn't have to always try switch it to PAL to play most games/demos.

Sixteen posts, and ergo reply updates in my email, and only one of them meaningful.  The rest useless pontification over NTSC vs. PAL.  I asked for NTSC and will only accept NTSC.

Thanks.

Well, NTSC ones I think are harder to find generally and first reply was Red saying he had a PAL one.  Sorry, I did see that you were looking for an NTSC one, but missed the "NTSC Only" part.  Oh wait it's not there.  Sorry for the efforts to see if we could figure out if this would be an option.
