Funny that about your TV..... I had a TV that wouldn't display a picture from the SAM correctly way back when I first bought it (I had one out of the first batch of 100 made). I told them and was invited down for the day while we tried different things and I met Alan Miles etc. which was pretty cool.
In the end we had to admit defeat and gave up. They gave me a free 256KB RAM expansion as a consolation so not all bad ;-) (Weeks later, the problem was fixed by adjusting frequencies on the PCB inside the TV so may not have been the SAM at all though it never had problems with any of my Speccys etc.) Thursday, May 22, 2008, 11:43:19 PM, you wrote: Dave> 2008/5/22 Colin Piggot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Yes, it was Simon Goodwin's routine on a Crash cover tape in 1990 or so.
