My question is: Is there a jumper or anything I can do to get my A500 with ECS to boot up in PAL mode. I love using PAL mode on my A500 and the easiest way I have found to do it so far is to use the palcon program from the PALboot 4.0 disk. I autoboot my hard drive, interrupt the startup-sequence, type palcon, and then reboot. I then works perfectly. Upon reset, my display changes to PAL and then autoboots my hard drive. Also, several of my games are PAL and it's a pain to use the PALboot disk first. I use PAL much more then NTSC now and would rather use the PAL boot programs to boot is NTSC mode when I need it. Does anybody know of a way to do this? Thanks in advance...... --Brandon Worrell bworrell@cmcvx1.claremont.edu

There is a jumper on the Agnus chip to toggle between PAL & NTSC, but
I don't know the details besides if you put a switch on it and switch it while
it's on it'll fry a chip. But besides that I have heard it works great.
