The COLORBURST was a PAL product before it even became NTSC; I'm sure that the makers MAST have an office or two in Europe (Germany I think), I am also sure that someone here reading the News would know its address/phone, and even have more to say b about it/them . The colorburst was oringinally invented here in Australia so as a last resort you could get it from here, they are on sale here, the price, dunno ($CALL is put in all the ads by various retailers). If noone else feels like volunteering the address/phone etc. I will find it out for you adios amigos, Murray s8922967@ipc01.mqcs.mq.oz.au m a

There are two versions of Colorburst. One is PAL, and one is NTSC. The PAL version is currently shipping to Europe. In fact, Commodore UK has a couple and they love them. Germany also has them. Of course, nobody has them in quantity, as they will not be available in quantity for a couple more weeks. In the UK, you can get a Colorburst from ChipX. From Germany, call the MAST office there. (They have English speaking personnel.) The conversion from PAL to NTSC and reverse is quite invloved and can only be performed by a MAST office. If you are trying to avoid the duties, :-), you can have your friends pick up the Colorbursts (PAL) in the US from MAST at $599. Call (702) 359-0444. I would place your order now though. Even PAL Colorbursts are still very high in demand and go out the door one day after assembly and testing. Juan Trevino tucker@tahoe.unr.edu

Yes, I believe the device works for NTSC, as well as PAL (it was first designed for PAL surport, because it was developed in a PAL country, Australia). Hang on I'll ring Gary Rayner the designer and check for you. No answere, must be out tonight. You can ring MAST Australia (OTC code 02 281 7411), and check. Martin Gardiner
