I don't have TOS 1.4 yet.  The biggest problem I have with European
games is a lot of them only work in 50 Hz mode.  The older color monitors
can handle both 50 and 60 Hz signals, but my Atari color monitor, one
of the newer ones with the power button on the front, apparently
cannot handle.
Does anyone have a little patch program that runs in the background
and constantly puts the computer in 60Hz mode.  I've tried writing
one with no luck.  I guess, though, that if it did work, the game
would start running into timing problems.

WHY DID ATARI DO THIS WITH THE MONITORS?
