Does anyone know what problems there are in running US (NTSC) programs on an A1200 PAL machine? I have to go to the Middle East and would like to take a 1200 with me. I could use an NTSC 1200 with Bigfoot to correct the voltage, but I want to leave the computer with my contact there, who presumably would then buy PAL programs. As there are NO 1200s currently available in the U.S. I'm also tempted to get a Mac Powerbook 145b. It would be much easier to carry. But, I prefer to spread the Amiga gospel if there is a way. Programs I want to run include word processors, spreadsheet & paint. Any comments? t
