You don't expect that adding some tens of metres of cable for chroma can fix this, do you? b) I'd say you are rather lucky getting picture, which is that good. I recall my quest to get something even remotely palatable some time ago and all (six) but one were worse than yours. The above is not to say that you should be happy with this picture. Surely not. What it is to say that we seem to be barking under the wrong tree here. > I'm not alone getting this timing error.

You can get all kinds of distortions if you get a visible output at all in the first place. I have only one converter that takes the signal from the 64 and outputs something acceptable to DVI - somewhat better than what you have shown here. Everything else was even worse. -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/ Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-09-05 13:00:02
