A better solution, I have found, is to use the program "PalBOOT" from the
comp.sources.amiga archive (v90i113).  It is accompanied with the similar
NTSCBoot as well.

Using PalBOOT (which boots the Amiga 500/2000 etc) into Pal mode works
PERFECTLY with TobiasTrek.  You get a full screen display (not the scrunched
interlace stuff with patchNTSC).  Try it out, it works great.

I have tried other Pal-modem switching programs, but PalBOOT is the only
one I have found that works with almost everything.
