I will try with plasma tomorrow. This could be the problem... At first I used a TFT with S-Video and composite inputs, but the image was rather bad. On a different TFT the image was much better, so this can be a factor. If you want to be on the safe side, find an old Commodore 1084 monitor. Fix the solder joints at the flyback transformer (known problem) and enjoy. The 1084 accepts RGB (analog and TTL), S-Video and Composite. > * The VIC indeed gets very hot in short time. I will work on a heatsink. There are heatsinks made for DIP-ICs. I usually use a drop of heatsink compound in the middle and then fix it in place with a drop of normal glue on each side (not between heatsink and chip!). This way it can be removed again. > * I will get another VIC-II from another source and try. See if you can get a 6569R5, last revision before they went to the HMOS-II versions. > I tried today, and I noticed that the picture is wavy only on the first > minute or so when the computer is powered up.
