To Stefan Hartmann and Carsten Isakovic or anyone who has an answer
to my question:
Do you have a version of Overscan that works with the STe? I'm
interested in the software since I have a multisync. Thanks.

So there is no chance for an STe / TT / MEGA-STe OverScan :-( But i have some other good news : The english manual's / master disc is ready! The first 100 pieces are send to GB on monday. In germany we have sold about 2100 overscan hardwares. Up to now we have done absolut NO advertising! It realy sells without :-) The first 'english' review is in the 'ST-World', i haven't yet seen the article, but our british distributor was very happy about it. We also got french and italian distributors, i hope USA, Canada and Australia will follow... Greetings, Karsten

You'd have to go in with a microscope and some REALLY SMALL tweezers and wire. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt

I wouldn't underestimate the ingenuity of German engineering, ceramic is pretty transparent to RF! :-) Cheers Graham ====== ------------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Higgins | Phone: (0272) 799910 x 24060 Hewlett-Packard Labs | gjh%ghiggins@hpl.hp.co.uk Bristol | gjh%ghiggins@hplb.hpl.hp.com U.K. | ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: My opinions above are exactly that, mine and opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Why not just remove the video chip and replace it with a board which provides same functionality and some extra resolution / colours / etc. It might take a little longer but it can be done, wait and see.
