You bet. And I was THIS CLOSE <holds fingers 2 microns apart> to getting it to work. But alas, it's put on hold like so many other projects. Maybe in January. Maybe 20 things in January. Basically, I had managed to get my oscilloscope and my PC to recognize Field 0 coming from the Atari. The hardware generates only Field 1 by default. I didn't have an NTSC monitor to test with at the time, so I had to use my PC. I use a DC10+ video capture card in my PC for video. Maybe it wasn't happy? I dunno, but every time I tried to put the 2 fields together, all hell broke loose on the screen. One time, I witnessed my 21" Viewsonic <read: 65 pound monitor> start levitating, and chanting something about the Necronomicon and "soon, the Ancient Master will return to claim his own".

I've been practicing my scary stories. - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
