There are two versions of Colorburst. One is PAL, and one is NTSC. The PAL
version is currently shipping to Europe. In fact, Commodore UK has a couple
and they love them. Germany also has them. Of course, nobody has them in
quantity, as they will not be available in quantity for a couple more weeks.
In the UK, you can get a Colorburst from ChipX. From Germany, call the MAST
office there. (They have English speaking personnel.)

The conversion from PAL to NTSC and reverse is quite invloved and can only be
performed by a MAST office. If you are trying to avoid the duties, :-), you
can have your friends pick up the Colorbursts (PAL) in the US from MAST at
$599. Call (702) 359-0444. I would place your order now though. Even PAL
Colorbursts are still very high in demand and go out the door one day after
assembly and testing.
