though so does anyone know what the difference might be?
Just because I could I hooked the Spectrum up to an Apple ][ Monitor and
that works fine - http://binarydinosaurs.co.uk/IMG_8839.JPG
Are there variations to the PAL Composite standard?
I think that the problem is probably that the Spectrum and ZX81 didn't
actually comply with the standard so much as use it as a general guideline.
Analogue monitors could cope, but many LCDs cant.
