I don't think the frequency of the input voltage into the PSU matters at all because it is all DC voltages coming out of the PSU and into the Amiga.

The only thing is.... try....it doesn't hurt! :-)

A600 differences PAL/NTSC models: quartz clock (doesn't matter usually) and modulator (different type, needs to be replaced); the Agnus is switchable (jumper or early boot menu). The PSU's input frequency doesn't matter at all (only on big box Amigas).

The genlock converts the RGB output to composite and/or s-video - the produced color encoding standard depends on the genlock alone, the Amiga's video standard does not really matter. You could even get a PAL resolution picture w/ NTSC colors (if your TV syncs down to 50 Hz).
Exactly the opposite combination is used with an 'NTSC playback' capable PAL VCR hooked to a PAL TV set; it's called 'PAL60' and works with 90% of all modern TV sets (modern: <10 years old).

ok Zac67!... this is the a-b-c which i have learnt about 20 years ago beeing part of my daily job.

Now my very, very simple question is....

you, Zac67 personally, have you ever tryed succesfully an Amiga PAL tied with a NTSC genlock?

Its all i like to know :-)
