I heard 2 rumors recently about the Amiga and the ST:
1. The Atari ST runs its Video at 70 hz. This rumor came from the fact that
someone who talked to a computer store salesperson (in Canada) claiming
to already have a monitor (wanting to get out of the package deal) was
told "you don't have one of these, it runs at 70 hz".
2. The Amiga has the capability to gen-lock it's video to an external source.
If this is true (seen in a recent EE Times) and it works full color (they
mentioned overlaying on video signals) then I MIGHT be willing to sacrifice
flicker-free (60-70 hz non-interlaced) for NTSC compatibility. Otherwise,
anything less that 60hz non-interlaced is unacceptable (screw NTSC).
