Using a PAL CD 32 in the u.s.
« on: November 19, 2010, 07:29:49 PM »
Hello all.  It is almost impossible to find an NTSC version CD32.  I have had a few oppurtunities to get a PAL version, and was contemplating the possibility of buying one, and then getting a step down converter. I think this is rather expensive though.  Ideally I want to also get a floppy drive so then I can use my Amiga floppy games on this unit as well.  If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate your help very much!:confused:

I do have a u.s. Amiga CD 32 brick, but u.s. is 110, and PAL CD 32 units are 220 or 240V.  I believe I would need a step down converter in order to operate the PAL unit in the u.s.  I could be way off, often am.  Any thoughts?

I do have an older PAL compatible Commodore monitor.  So the u.s. power supply should run the European CD32?  I guess I was thinking that the voltage difference would have to be addressed.  If not, that is fantastic!
