  Got a question for you hardware hackers out there....

  Would it be possible to devise a hack for the 1000 to give it PAL
capabilities in the following manner?:
 
  To build a small board to be plugged into the Agnus socket that would hold
both the standard NTSC version AND a PAL version of the same chip in paralell
with the chip select lines going to an external switch?  I can't remember for
sure, but is there not also a jumper on the motherboard for PAL that would be
switched as well to effectively turn an NTSC A1000 into a PAL machine when
both of these switches were active?
 
  Since I know little about electronics, and even less about the insides of my
Amiga, I have no idea if this would work....but if anyone out there knows one
way or the other, I would appreciate the info.
 
Thanx,
Randolph Turner
