Hi Ian (and list), Quick question, have you ever used a plain ol' composite input on yours? Turns out my problem isn't just my problem, people have been having the same issue since the screens were new - composite input just doesn't work unless it's a very specific set of circumstances. That or there's a particular setup required that isn't documented anywhere... So far I've tried: Spectrum (composite) ZX81 (composite) Raspberry Pi B Apple ][GS Amiga 1200 Amiga CD32 (this one *nearly* works, I get the splash screen) Playstation 1 (ditto) EACA VideoGenie Have you got any of those kicking around you could plug in and test for me?
