no offense, but whats the point?

blimmin yanks.........

i'd bet you would do it if you could

which is, incidentally why people do this stuff, because they can!

I'm damned impressed with this mod, nice one!

My next mod is a 616T, anybody know where I can get one in the UK?

wait......... so how did you get those letters on the back, thats what i want 2 know

[spillage]

The letters on the back are hand laid from a rub on system called 'letroset'. Its not very common anymore because you can buy little machines to print on transparent tape to make labels. It took about 2 hours. I have quite a bit of letroset so it made sense to save the money and spend time instead. The back panel, once lettered, was laquered 4 times to seal them in place and provide protection.

oh, hey spillage, what point did you attatch to GND so that if the AV cord is out it wont flash green/orange, pin 18 right?

At the end of the day, there are few benefits in my mod but I did it, it works and no one else has.

I can think of no better reason myself.

BTW,
  You're making me regret tossing out a bunch of old letroset I had from my video days. . .

Right the LM1881N sync stripper is built and I am pretty sure running Ok. However, I cannot get a the PIXEL8 bios to run on my box, it simply wont start up. The usual lights on, lights off routine then everything flashing. The copy I have is a 512k, anyone got any ideas.

The title of my post should, if I am being totoally honest, read 'Not quite all outputs configurable'. So what works.

1. Composite
2. S Video
3. Optical (digital)
4. Coaxial (digital)
5. AVIP extention
6. RGB
7. RGBHV 15Khz
8. RGBHV 31Khz aka VGA is no go.

Analogue audio o/p also works. I installed that for Link Parties.

I can achieve a strange sized green image with some red and blue in it and its definitely at 31Khz else the monitor would work at all. I have tried 2 bios for vga so far. Pixel8 bios wont even run in my box. I am currently working on the issue, so those of you that have been kind enough to 'pm' for info please hang on a bit cause I don't want to tell how to make it if it doesn't work yet.

Anyone with ideas please tell me.

Lifter you are right, but I was and still am under the impression that the VGA bios will o/p RGB with 31Khz on green for sync. Using a sync stripper should give me RGBHV or VGA.

Lifter RGBHV at 15KHz works fine so if you CRT has a de-interlacer your laughing. However, progressive in the first place is better again. I will post as soon as I have rectified the issue.

Unfortunately I don't have an HD scaler (I use an HTPC for DVD movies), so that's why I'm so interested in this mod.

If yout still cant get VGA to work, let me know. Its prolly just your wiring of the LM1881N. BTW, i used the 5v-12v voltage from AVIP pin #1.  The wiring diagrams on the net can be deceiving. Im in the process of making some very STRAIGHT FORWARD drawings. Pixel8's BIOS works for me both on 1.0 and 1.1. i havent tried 1.3-1.5 yet. If pixel's is working, when you try to hook up a RCA cable to the avip, it gives out a Green picture only with alot on vertical lines. My drawings will be out soon.    Gerzand

also, entermymatrix03.... i can draw that up for ya. i have it working in a HD pack
