Some time ago, someone posted a very short program called PalBoot. If I remember aright, it was supposed to reboot a USA into PAL mode, for use with European software. I downloaded it at the time, but I seem to have misplaced it. Two Questions: 1. Will it work on an A1000. I've got some European demos and an excellent German PAL shareware Star Trek game I'd like to be able to run (and see!) 2. Would someone either email it to me or post it to the net or tell me where I can acquire it? It's definitely not in the Fish or Amicus libraries.

It only works on Amigas with the new ECS Agnus, so if you have a 1000, you're out of luck with this program. It's on FF 331 in the NTSC-PAL drawer, which includes BootNTSC, which boots a PAL Amiga in NTSC mode. >Dan Hankins > >dan-hankins@cup.portal.com >sun!portal!cup.portal.com!dan-hankins Thanx, Dustin Christmann Internet: drxmann@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu Bitnet: drxmann@utxvm UUCP: ...!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu "He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot, but don't let that fool you.
