Quoting Leszek Chmielewski retr...@gmail.com: My SAM has no BRIGHT too. There was a shortcut between Composite and +12V, so the MC1377P was burned out (Just got a replacement by desoldering a Atari Mega STE), I lost BRIGHT too as the ASIC was toasted a little too. After replacing it with ASIC

Hopefully we understand the behaviour of the current ASIC well enough for someone to create a replacement, or (as you're suggesting) and enhanced version that is backwards compatible. It's not a small task though! I have a bunch of test programs that Dave and I wrote for SimCoupe, which

I hadn't considered that bright might be variable by channel — I'll have to check that out. If it were MC1377P affecting all channels then presumably I'd see the effect only through the aerial or a single-line video output? If I were to find a suitable RGB scart cable then I'd still get the

If the original R55 has blown, i.e no current is able to pass through it, then the piggy backed R55 will restore the circuit as intended. If the piggy-backed one has blown as well I'd be concerned as to what is causing this to happen!
