 First, you must be sure it's a NTSC Plus4

To do this, hit the following line command:
?DEC("FF80") AND 128 [RETURN]

The results can be:
0 = NTSC Plus4
128 = PAL Plus4

If you own an NTSC Plus4:
Your Country uses NTSC TV system? (as US do).
If yes, then the only problems can be running software with critic timing (as disk-loaders, raster FX graphics, etc.).

In this case, I don't think you can easy switch from NTSC to PAL only by changing the crystal.
Better to buy an old PAL Plus4 as my friend Attila said. But when you will have it, you can use it connected to a PAL television set, or to a dedicated Monitor.
OK? Give me updated on the matter...

Lando: This is my better about the problem.
P.S. NTSC=NeverTheSameColour .... :))

 One possible solution...

... would be to replace the crystal oscillator that generates the clock sign to PAL, and also a few ROMs.... but I'm not an expert
or simply try to order a plussy over from Europe... E-bay UK... http://www.ebay.co.uk
