I have an A1000 which I would like to use to tape some animations off of. I remember a hardware hack to the internal composite driving circuitry that improved the display quality. Does anyone have this hack around? It was something like changing the capacitors inside. If you would post it or mail me, I would greatly appreciate it. Martin Kruckenberg martink@hpdtl.hpl.hp.com

It was something like Can't seem to find it amongst the "stuff" in my magazine stack, but it's in an issue of Amazing Computing. The hack is either to change a resistor to one of a different value, or remove it altogether (depending on what revision of the A1000 you have). I did it to my old A1000 when I sold it to a friend who was going to use it with a big Sony monitor in composite mode; although the output was not wonderful, the hack did improve the trueness of the colors considerably - red was red instead of purple...

The hack you guys are looking for is in Amazing Computing Vol 2 issue 7. If Amazing cant help you out drop me a line, maybe we can work somthing out.. l8r.. Scott.. Sorry no fancy sig to skip!
