[comp.sys.cbm] Color?

holloway@clio.UUCP (11/08/87)

I'm trying to run from the composite output on my C=64 into a NEC composite
color monitor...We get grey scale but no color.  Is there a color burst on
the composite output? or only on the RF output.

					Thanks much...

I've been running my monitor from c64's composite output with no trouble.
It definitely has all the color info.  I did have a problem:  the luma
pin had color info on it, and I used to run a b/w monitor.  The color
info causes an annoying pattern in the hi resolution monitor.  I found
a solder bridge (excess solder) essentially shorting the two.
