Amiga 2000 PAL to NTSC
« on: January 02, 2013, 02:05:02 PM »
Hi All,

 I am in a NTSC area. I have a NTSC 1084S monitor connected to an amiga 2000. I am getting a PAL 2000 motherboard.

The questions I have are:

1) Will the power supply for my Amiga 2000 NTSC work with the Amiga 2000 PAL motherboard?

2) Will my 1084S work since it is using RGBi input? I assume the monichome out will not work with NTSC but is RGBi out affected as well?

3) What would it take to make it a NTSC motherboard or even something that can switch in between?

4) Can a get a flicker fixer to hook up to a VGA monitor for it?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks, Everyone. The reason for the switch is I have a bad 2000 motherboard. I bought a whole Video Toaster setup. When I turned it on, it didn't boot. I removed all the cards, etc... and looked at the motherboard. Acid over about a 1/6th of the motherboard. A frown hit my face. I hope it didn't hurt any cards or chips. Anyway, bought a new motherboard from over seas on Amibay. However, it is possible that that is a PAL motherboard. I wanted to cover my bases since I didn't want to cause any more damage to the amiga equipment then I already have. Since the Power Supply seems to be in order and the 1084S works, I'll just use that then. I was just saying for the flicker fixer if the 1084S wasn't compatible.

I will probably do what is suggested and keep the system PAL, if it is. I'll probably post the Video Toaster card on Amibay, since all I wanted was the 2000HD.

The 2000HD has a pretty cool card in it. Looks like Fast Ram, a Hard Drive, and a 68E030 chip with a math co-processor in it. I hope it still works. I notices that it shows version 1.03 on it but I have no idea what card it is. Also, it has a dual serial board. Not really know why it needed a dual serial board but no loss.

Thanks, Again. I'll let you know how it works out.
