  A couple of months ago, my father came to visit me in Berlin from
Argentina.  Since I want to interchange E-mail with him and the rest of
the gang regularly, I gave him a 520 STM to take home (It's a model that
came out here in Germany, 512KB, no integrated floppy but with an RF
modulator.  I don't know whether this version is sold in other
countries).  Since both Germany and Argentina use the PAL color encoding
scheme, I thought there would be no problem using the TV set.  However,
he tells me he can't get any color on the screen.  This reminded me
that, although the norm is the same, Argentina uses PAL-N while Germany
uses PAL-B.  Does anybody out there know what's the difference? Can this
be the cause for the lack of color? If it is, is there a simple fix I
could apply when I go there on vacation? (I used to be able to decode
the value of a resistor, given the color-code table and a couple of
days, and my theoretical knowledge is even worse, so it better be real
simple)
