Yes, the A2320 will work in both PAL and NTSC machines automatically -
and you can change modes under AmigaDOS 2.0 if you have the 8372A new
one meg Agnus chip which all A2000s have been shipping with over a year
ago.  The A2320 is a video slot card (half card in size, same size as
the MicroWay FlickerFixer as well as most other video slot style cards).
This card has not gotten alot of press due to other cards and machines
that Commodore has recently rolled out, so even some of our dealers and
sales people may not know about it just yet.  The US dealers should be
getting their sales information inside of two weeks (just in time for
Christmas!) so keep bugging them about it if you want one (and I hope
you all want one!).
Enjoy!
