1. Improving display quality: You can use a normal audio "dubbing" cable with a 5 pin DIN connector on one end and four jacks on the other. Use three of these leads (Video, Luminence (sp?), and Audio) connected at the rear of your monitor. You can also mix video and luminence and feed this into the composite video input. This works with monitors other than the 1701. If this overdirves your monitor then add a small resistor (~100 ohm) to the luminence signal. 2. Mch language monitor, assembler, and memory map - Look for back issues of COMPUTE! magazine (late 82). One issue had the best memory map I've seen to date. Another contained Supermon64 by Jim Butterfield. Also, the Toronto PET Users Group has one or more similar monitors in their program library. Commodore offers an assembler, editor, loader package which I've seen available in the Chicago area for as little as $16.95. I've been told that it is well worth the money. Finally, COMPUTE! magazine has recently advertised that they will be producing a book with a title something like "Inside the C64" in early 1984. You may want to keep an eye open for this.
