That is correct, by my calculations as well. According to Google, the NTSC color clock is 3.579545 MHz and PAL is 3.546894 MHz. 228*262*NTSC = 16688.15 microsec (although you said 16686), and 228*262*PAL = 16841.78 microsec. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
