Bill, yes there are specific demos that I want to run that are PAL format.
All the best demos are from Europe and are in PAL format. Like this one: <

to it's limits with incredible sound and graphics that make it look like it
is a 16 bit machine. Sure I can run it in an emulator, but I want to run it
on a real machine.

The theme of HOPE for VCF is to show off vintage computers pushed to the
max with hardware and software.
