[comp.sys.atari.st] GCR & overscan

billm@CSUFresno.EDU (Bill Mills) (10/26/90)

I have a few questions about Spectre GCR and Overscan that I hope
someone can answer for me.
First, where can I get info about overscan.  I have gotten the software,
but not the article describing the hardware mods.  Does the mod need to
be on a Mega, or any ST (I have a 1 meg 520 ST)?  As I also understand
it is only available for the monochrome monitor, is this true?  

About Spectre GCR.  Will Spectre GCR work with the overscan on a mono
monitor?  I have heard that some early Mac 128K ROMS were eproms, and
that the GCR doesn't allow eproms to prevent piracy is any of this true
(ie. will I need to be careful if purchasing used roms mail order)?  And
finally, where can I get bot the Spectre GCR and Mac roms, and what
prices should I expect?

Thank you for your help, please respond vie email.
