> Has
anyone tried to plug an old Home computer into an Analog to
Digital TV
converter
such as the Canopus ADVC-100, and then use a mondern computer
with a Firewire port and video capture software as a monitor?
And the answer would be that with my Apple //gs, I'm getting video,
however, it's B&W. I assume I should be getting colour output on the
composite port?
Uh, yeah ^^;;
Perhaps your Canopus is set to PAL (or your IIgs isn't NTSC)?
I'm not sure what's up. The Canopus can't even do PAL as far as I
know, and I'd used it earlier that night with a definite NTSC signal.
As far as I know the IIgs is NTSC.
To make things even stranger, when I booted up a System 6 floppy, I
got colour once it was running the GUI, BUT, it was a bit distorted
and not the most readable. I've been doing a little work trying to
get a spot cleaned up to set it, and the monitor up, though, I seem
to be having a bit of a problem finding a spot to plug it in.
