E-mail me off-list for details.

No sound, of course.
What mod might that be, inquiring mind want to know ... :-)

While we're on the subject of video mods, is there any way to get RGB out a
C64 or C128?
I find it amazing that Commodore never added that. Are these supposed to be
computers or what? Even the Sega Master System had RGB!

Out of a 128? Yes, but only in VDC 80-column mode. The 9-pin DSUB in the back
exports a signal that works just fine with most CGA and many EGA monitors,
and if you are ridiculously lucky enough to have a multisync that can drop
to a frequency that low, a select few VGA/SVGA monitors.
Otherwise (for 40-column 128 mode and the 64), find something like AIM Labs'
JAM!! box, which takes S-video, composite and just about everything else, and
spits out VGA. Never used it myself, however.

I do have both an Amiga 1438S (OEM Microvitec), NEC Multisync 3D and Eizo
something or other. The Eizo will quite happily take digital signals, too,
IIRC.
OTOH, I already have a mono 80-column monitor, so that won't help me much. I'd
rather like to see the blue BASIC screen in 40-column mode.
How deep into the traces on the C64 must one go in order to obtain RGB, RGB
not reassembled out of composite or Y/C, that is.

Useless, since I've already got monitors for every kind of computer output. =/

You can't. All the VIC-II sends out is Y/C to the RF modulator and the
video port. There is no internal RGB.
