Well, just for completeness, I have NewZapped Udi's NTSCBoot to create
PALBoot, which reboots North American Amigas into PAL mode.  The American
1084 monitor can handle PAL just fine, apparently, since I'm using it that
way right now.  This also works fine on LUCAS/FRANCES with the 32-bit
Kickstart, as I can attest.

The uuencoded binary follows.  The source code can be found in Udi's post.
I apologize for doing this the ugly way (NewZapping) instead of doing this
the proper way (reassembling the source code), but I'm having trouble
figuring out Lattice's ASM;  I'll have to ask Lattice for some better
documentation than comes with their compiler, I guess.

Anyway, as Udi warns, you NEED the 1-Meg Agnus and Kickstart 1.3 to
use this, and it breaks all the rules. But it works, and is a nifty way
to get some extra screen real estate for free!  

Udi:  How about submitting NTSCBoot and PALBoot to Tad Guy?
