I thought that PALBoot and programs like it just SIMULATED a PAL display.
Obviously, an NTSC machine can't be turned into PAL without hardware changes.
But don't these types of programs (PALBoot, etc.) just open an NTSC screen
which is just an interlaced screen with more vertical rows?  Seems to me that
a FlickerFixer would make this display even better to see.  Anyway, with 
PALBoot, I still lose the last few lines on the bottom of the screen sometimes.

Looking for enlightenment (gently, please...)
