Ordering a pre-modded NTSC 2600 was going to be an option for me, depending on cost, but at the added cost of an international phone call I think I'll give that one a miss. 8-/ > Someone here was asking how to modify a PAL 2600.

I was kinda hoping that someone had already done a suitable mod for PAL 2600s and that the ionfo might be available somewhere, but if I have to try to figure out pin-out conversions then I might have to stick with the RF out. Given that the pin-outs on the PAl 2600 are supposedly different it looks as if I will have to import an NTSC 2600 and try one of the NTSC mods - depending on cost. I'm guessing that this is not going to be a cheap option. 8-( -- Amos Bannister arb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
