Question
hello,
I have a PAL amiga in Japan. I would like to use it with a japanese Tv. I guess there is a hardware hack to do it (changing pal crystal with ntsc), but I don't know the details ...
thanks
ps : the amiga is 1200. and no, software switching is no good for me. I need a hardware solution

Answer
Hi Arda,

My understanding is that you need to replace the Agnes chip, which is what determines whether your Amiga is PAL or NTSC. You can check www.ebay.com or www.softhut.com for these chips (the latter is probably more likely to have it.)

I hope this helps,

Greg

I certainly don't know everything about the Amiga, but having been a user of several different models for about fifteen years, I'm willing to share what I know.
