Hey,
Just bought a nice 600XL in original condition (nothing changed inside). It's been my first ever computer so I wanted one again. Mind you I already own PAL 800, two 130 XEs, XEGS and a dead 800 XL. And ever since I bought that 600 XL I have always owned at least a couple of A8 machines.
I want to make this 600 my main machine though so I already found a lot of mods that I plan to do.
One thing I would like is to make it (switchable) to running at NTSC speed but keep the video out PAL. I will use a Sony PVM monitor and this can handle PAL and NTSC so it should be very flexible about the video signal.
I want to use chroma/luma output and would prefer to get rid of the modulator If possible.
The reason why I want it to run exactly at NTSC sped is because of playing the games at the correct speed for record points (and the feel).
Now I learned that NTSC machines have just 1 crystal and the PALs have two. Would it be enough to change the main system crystal to the one that is used in NTSC machines ? (And make it switchable, doesn't have to be able to change speed when on).
