[comp.sys.amiga] 2 questions: Elite and New Fat Agnus chip

CSD06ZX1%UNO.BITNET@vm.tcs.tulane.edu (05/01/89)

Ok, people, two little questions for ya:
1.  I WANT Elite! (as do several other people out there in bitland) However,
    I am getting conflicting reports, some stating that it has not been
    released (this is in the states, i know its out in Europe) and some
    stating it has been released...sooo..if anyone has SEEN and HELD a copy
    of it, in the USA, and wasnt dreaming :-) please let me (and other
    Elite fans) know! [ a sidebar: does Canada use PAL or NTSC, i hear the
    delay is due to PAL to NTSC problems, i know someone in Canada, he could
    get it for me even tho it would be PAL, i think..help! ]
2.  When is the new 1 meg agnes (agnus?) chip going to be 'officially' released
    and how much $$ ??
Thanks to all in advance!

I have Elite here in the UK (PAL of course) and I'm surprised at the PAL/NTSC
conversion questions because I would swear that it only uses a 320x200 screen
I would have thought that it would run straightaway on a NTSC system.
