I haven't really made a table, because the different ROMs have many different timing values. If you look at the bottom of this page http://www.6502.org/users/andre/petindex/crtc.html they even differed in number of screen scanlines(!) between the 40 and 80 col machines - even though (as far as I understand) the fat-40 and 80 column models had the same screen hardware (at least that's what I would do). It seems to work as long as the refresh frequency was basically correct (compensating with the scanline duration) André -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2012-04-26 06:00:37
