Short:        72hz NTSC monitor driver WORKS!
Author:       Jess Sosnoski
Uploader:     starblaz postoffice ptd net
Type:         hard/hack
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Long:
This is a replacement for the euro36 icon that emulates ntsc.
It replaces my old hack of nt72, and works waaaay better.
Just change a couple 'o tooltypes and you can make it do pal too.

Requirements:
An Amiga with 2.x+, and a 2.1 or higher euro36 monitor driver.
A monitor that will either handle a 72hz refresh rate, or a monitor with
a vertical hold.  An Amiga 1080, or Commodore 2002 will work--I tested it
on both.  (Well, the monitors are virtually identical anywayz)
I don't know if this requires ECS or above, if it works on OCS, email me.
I don't know what It'll do to a TV.

Results:
Less flicker in interlace!

Disclaimer:
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I take NO responsibility whatsoever by the use/abuse of this hacked monitor.
(if it makes your monitor blow up...tough!)
Like the ITAL36 driver's docs say:  You have been warned.

Compatibility:
Tested with a variety of applications and games.
Some OS-unfriendly programs that bang the hardware to do ntsc-pal switches
will very likely mess things up.

Caveats:
NO VERTICAL OVERSCAN, YOU ARE NOW LIMITED TO 200 or 400 pixel high screens!
(The cost of a higher refresh rate on ECS)


WEIRD STUFF:
Contacting the hacker....
(Well, I'm NOT the author of the monitor, just the hacker of the monitor)

Enjoy...Knock Yourselves out!

History:
1.0	Hacked CBM's v40 ntsc driver, didn't always work as planned, and
	I even had to write a little 64-byte executable to bang the hardware
	to get it to work right in some circumstances.  This proved unstable
	when using pic-viewers 'n' stuff that banged the hardware...forcing
	me to use the 64-byte banger every time it got unbanged.

2.0	Messed with the euro36 driver until it stopped bending the top of
	my screen over to the right.
	It turned out that I had to set the tooltype: VBSTOP=200
	I also decided not to change the name/screenmode of the driver,
	because I didn't know what effect it would have, and of course,
	Laziness!
