Yes yes, fair enough. But why was it working fine with a TV (UHF), someone else's PC TV card (UHF or Composite SCART) and the VCR(composite SCART) - when it failed with my Mac's TV card (UHF or Composite SCART)? That't the confusing bit. If it hadn't worked on those others (or at least, had failed to work, but in the same way) I'd have guessed there was something wrong somewhere, and probably found the dodgy 12V line if it was there at the time.... It is probably worth noting that Allan's PSU doen't have the modulator in it, this could be the solution to at least one problem :) Andrew -- +----------------+-----------------------------+----------------+ | Andrew Collier | email [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Talk sense | | 1B NatSci | http://carou.sel.cam.ac.uk/ | to a fool | +----------------+-----------------------------+ and he calls | | Selwyn College Student Computer Support Team | you foolish | | email [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- Euripides | +----------------------------------------------+----------------+
