I will have a near mint boxed PAL A600 up for auction tonight, starting at $0.01 with no reserve. While it is PAL, I am here in the USA and it will include a US 110V power supply. It is also capable of displaying NTSC, which cab be selected in the early boot menu or in WB.

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.


Who doesn't use RGB? Composite output is horrible. I tested the A600 last night with a NTSC 1902 and PAL looked fine, just a little flicker. Switching to NTSC looks just like an NTSC system :-D

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?


PAL A520 :-?
