On a 9" screen a 40 column is better. So the 970150-07 must be a 40 columns version, too. >>> This could also be used with an adapter to drive external >>> monitors.

On the normal thin 40 the video board is on the system board. I think, the old boards without crtc runs in europe with 60 Hz, too. So no different roms exists for basic 1. > The system board would not need to be different Yes, i think, too. > and the power transformer could be wired to be either > 220 or 110 V. That's an other question. Many first PET have an additional transformer for the 220 to 110 V transfoming! > The ramp generator for the horzontal sync would have to > be different. Why? The crt is the same and the system board to drive the crt are also the same.

Okay, so you can change the specification of a crt. But is this needed? Martin Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-05-07 13:00:06
