I just got a TV/monitor to replace the old set, and it has Super-VHS
y-c imputs. Someone told me that this might be compatible with the
separate chroma/luma outputs of the Commodore 64. Does anyone know if
this is true, and if so, have any details? Like maybe a source and
pinouts for that funny MacPlug that the Super-VHS input uses?
Thanks.

Seems like it should be possible, the C64 does supply separate Y-C video, but there might be problems like additional conections not available from a VIC chip (like a sync pulse on a separte pin), or the bandwidth requirements may be different (to acheive the better resolution)--either of these, of coarse, go beyond the NTSC standard. However, you won't hurt anything by trying---I would just get the pinouts from somewhere (a local Hi-Fi repair shop should be able to help you out well) and just try the thing. Anyone else have any ideas??? -Mike neusoft@vax1.mankato.msus.edu
