Nice one, that is quite cheap, do they only sell them with Polish keyboards of do they have English ones too?

Ahh ok, so it is a normal English keyboard? Was looking at the picture and the keyboard did not look English.

You could get a white english keyboard for only a few pounds.
Did you see the thread where an NTSC CD32 was successfully changed into a PAL CD32 with a hardware mod? |

Not that tricky if you've ever soldered before. 10 seconds work for a TV repair guy!

From my own experience, selecting PAL in the early boot menu on a NTSC CD-32 gives me a B+W picture. It's not clear if the hacks they mention do just the same as the early boot menu ie change rates/resolutions but not colour, or whether they do more and output a true PAL signal. Again, what you see might depend on the screen you are using. To my thinking, there must be a simple way to swap between the two. Commodore would have kept the designs for both as similar as possible to keep costs down. |

I think that lifting that pin makes it so you do not have to select PAL in early startup.
