Right, what I am interested in is whether the C64s with the original clock generator circuit (the regular PLL/VCO) exhibit the same problem with said peripherals as the "Reloaded" (and - as gpz says - the newer boards equipped with the 8701 replacement). If that's the case, then it is hard to argue that it is a compatibility issue on the "Reloaded" side. One could even say that "Reloaded" is more compatible with the original design... ;-) -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/Received on 2018-05-28 23:00:02
