Well, I was able to display "PAL" on the Amiga using a 1084, but I don't really know if it was PAL, or just a higher resolution NTSC with PAL timings. In the 1084 manual have it right here) it says the following: "The 1084S works in four different operating modes: Composite (NTSC Standard), Separated LCA (Luma-Chroma-Audio), Digital RGBI (Red/Green/Blue Intensity), and Analog RGB.... Later on in the specifications it says this: "Raster Frequency: 50/60 Hz (autoswitch)" Nowhere in the manual does it make mention of PAL. Some people claim that the RF Modulator is what combines the Chroma and Luma signals together, but I think that there are indeed two types of Composite Video (one for PAL, one for NTSC), and the only thing that the RF Modulator does is combine the Composite video and audio signals, and modulates it about a carrier radio frequency. That seems right to me anyway, since everyone that has tried to use a PAL device on an NTSC monitor or vice versa has reported that the output has NO color. *Geoff!* - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
