Adrian,
I had* a couple of Zydacron Z-220 CODEC Video Conferencing
cards that
handled both NTSC and PAL. They didn't have TV tuners so I
don't know if
They wouldn't have done then - I need something that can tune to PAL-I
channel 36 and whatever channel the NTSC machines poke out :)

This morning I received a post to classiccmp from
'null(a)domain2.bigpond.com' containing an executable entitled
'CAHFPJCA.EXE'. I run a Mac, so it's no threat to me, but folks
running the 90% solution might want to be careful...
Digest mode's great - I just got a load of MIME that I couldn't have run
even if I wanted to :)

I just picked up a Pinnacle Systems Studio PCTVpro at Office
Depot for about
$80. It does NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. Or at least it says it
does... I don't
have anything besides NTSC to test it with.
That's odd. I'm sure I looked at the PCTV Pro over here and it didn't
mention NTSC.....have to check again at lunchtime - there's a PC World 5
minutes from here.

Not when you haven't got an RGB cable and only have the proper CVBS one
complete with stereo audio :) I've only ever ran Amigas on either an old DEC
Rainbow colour monitor (RGB Sync on green) or a 1084ST (CVBS).
It's the official C= D23 to red/white/yellow
RCA type
connectors to plug
into a 1084 monitor or any CVBS supporting monitor
like the
Philips CM8833.
It would be rather silly venture to plug a composite signal
into a 1084 or an
8833. Granted, it would certainly work (I do that, for
technical reasons), but
these monitors will happily accept RGB, and should be fed accordi ------------------------------

Subject: Olivetti PC1
Extremely compact, CPU and keyboard integrated into a home
micro-ish console,
with 3,5" drives protruding from the top of the keyboard.
Runs on a NEC V40
and has got a CGA adapter. Apparently the sound is "hi-fi".
But look at the design! Drool.
Was this radical design ever released, though? Has anyone got a PC1?
Wot, the Olivetti Prodest PC1? Ho yus. Definitely released and if I'd had my
wits about me a few weeks ago I could've had both single and dual floppy
versions, one complete with monitor, for 5 or 10 of your english pounds.
Unfortunately I'd run out of both time and money!
cheers!
