I could be wrong about this, but I don't remember any adapters that'd let you run PAL on a SVGA monitor with an Amiga. There are adapters that let you use PC monitors to run hi-res screen modes, but for most PAL games/apps you'd have to revert to a TV or one of those C= lo-res monitors ( I think Phillips made similar ones too). To get the best of both worlds, Amigans had to use expensive multisync monitors. I have one made by MicroVitec, which I still use on one of my PCs, but it suffers at the high end - not allowing more than 800*600. Dave
