I started some work on "legalising" the video signal (so that it could no longer be a hit'n miss game when connecting it to more modern displays/converters) as well as DVI output, but with DolphinDOS 4 currently taking all of my highly scarce hobby-time, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for me to finish it if I was you... > I can troubleshoot electronics, but I > never learned to design circuits.

Depends on what you mean with "some components" if you're talking about removing the RF modulator then - depending on the model of the modulator - you may or may not get improved quality of the signal coming out of the C-64 but in general this doesn't change much in terms of signal compatibility. It changes even less if you talk about exchanging the socket only. -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/Received on 2018-07-17 10:00:04
