Here's the links to the 80 Micro magazine May and June of 83 for their articles on building your own Mikrokolor and programs for it (in case you want to roll your own) https://archive.org/details/80-microcomputing-magazine-1983-05/page/n223 https://archive.org/details/80-microcomputing-magazine-1983-SE Musings on video out: I have been dabbling as of late with a Tandy Color computer and through the Indianapolis Retro Computer Club other machines with external video out. The display really looks crappy on a modern HD monitor unless you go with an upscaler unit to improve the resolution. RF output looks *really* bad and composite to a lesser degree. Interesting note: Machines supporting NTSC are about 25% faster over PAL due to the lower resolution of NTSC (Of course that only helped users in N. America and Japan? I think). That's something those of us with LCD screens never have to concern themselves with. On Fri, May 17, 2019 at 9:40 PM Mike Stein wrote: > Duh; of course!
