Hi!
Does anyone out there know if there is a simple modification to the
C64 to allow access to an RGB type signal? I assume there's one in there,
and have an RGBI monitor (IBM compatible - oh well..), and am curious as to
whether it would be feasible to hack 'n slash the poor machine to allow use
of a superior non-NTSC (Never Twice the Same Color) display.
Yes, I know which end of a soldering iron to hold - just a bit of
which pins have what signals should get me going.
You can send any ideas to the user who asked these questions
originally (and doesn't have access to the net):
Bill Hiscox 2LR-S (707) 794-4202

Rohnert Park, CA 94928-4999
or you can send it to me via E-mail and I'll forward it to him.
Many thanks in advance!

Sorry, the output of the VIC chip is already NTSC encoded Luminance and Chrominace (LUMA and CHROMA) signals. The RGB componets don't appear on any pin, although I understand that there are some test pads on the die... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
