The Atari ST runs its Video at 70 hz. This rumor came from the fact that someone who talked to a computer store salesperson (in Canada) claiming to already have a monitor (wanting to get out of the package deal) was told "you don't have one of these, it runs at 70 hz". 2. The Amiga has the capability to gen-lock it's video to an external source. If this is true (seen in a recent EE Times) and it works full color (they mentioned overlaying on video signals) then I MIGHT be willing to sacrifice flicker-free (60-70 hz non-interlaced) for NTSC compatibility. Otherwise, anything less that 60hz non-interlaced is unacceptable (screw NTSC). Keith Doyle # {ucbvax,ihnp4,decvax}!trwrb!cadovax!keithd
