I am having a major problem with my Amiga 600.

I have a small Return key, look at my 600HD in my pictures.  I also have two small blank keys, one next to the return and one next to the left shift.

A simple way to know if your 600 is PAL...........is the key right to the left of the RETURN key blank? then your machine is PAL, but if the key nest to your A600 RETURN key is the QUOTE symbol with the COMA, then its probably NTSC.

That's not exactly true. I have 2 PAL A600HD's with US keyboard
layout and there's NO blank keys on it!
Take a look at: www.amiga-hardware.com/amiga600hd_big.jpg
My A600's are identical to this one. Keyboard-layouts
have nothing to do with it.

I think your Amiga 600 is NTSC and not PAL, thereore that's why it is not showing anything out of the RF, and displaying a black & white picture out of the A520 (outputting PAL but with color information at NTSC frequency).

I htink with this you sort of created a PAL-N Amiga  :lol: Send it over here, would work like a charm!

Oh you are absolutly correct!!! IT IS AN NTSC amiga!!! How do I remedy the situation!? (Beside buying an NTSC TV, that is)

Back in the old days, I used some disk utilities to force my A600 into NTSC mode so that some games ran faster. I think the  old Assasins range had a few such tools.

Aminet had two possibles:

TINYpalntsc.lha    util/boot    1K    503    TINY pal & ntsc switching commands

 Kill2090.lha    util/boot    14K    182    Reboot, toggle NTSC/PAL, disable autoconf boards

Hope this helps.
