Re: A Grand Day Out

@rubber_jonnie yes that cable is definitely worth a punt. I got my adaptor imported from the US and it works great but it's not cheap obviously.

I'll try and get a comparison of my screen later on if I get a mo.

Re: A Grand Day Out

@rubber_jonnie I use the S-Video cable that's on a special PCB that replaces the modulator but the S-Video cable you bought for your C64 should also do the job nicely and IMO looks so much better.

The RGBI uses a whole different interface for the 80 column mode.

Re: A Grand Day Out

My C128D is connected to a VGA monitor by that Adaptor I pointed you to RJ and using that it took ages to get the Lumafix right, coming back to it on a couple of different occasions.

In the meantime I'll probably recap my Mac Plus and use that instead.

Re: PhilCs blog / the latest things hes broken(fixed)

But then thinking some more. It's not impossible that the logic board is causing the resetting. As the logic board had to be repaired but the only test bed I have is the Max Classic that I've had to repair the analog board on

And these classic macs are a pain to work on.
