High resolution is a pain in the arse getting the OSSC to provide a centered screen with a good presentation. Milage may vary but it is nice to use a HDMI monitor.

Hehe, I was just discovering that myself the other night, right after playing with the colour modes. The mono picture looks gorgeous, but it's not in the right place. I haven't get taken the time to fiddle with all knobs, but I'm sure I can improve it somewhat.

What is it with these original boards packing in all the time

The STE I'm using to test the simms seems to have iffy sockets. So thought I would swap it for my other test machine, which was working fine last week as I was testing some ROMs out for my store (and put back on the shelf working) . connected it up and totally white screen does not boot.

I just don't have these problems at all with H4. Use it, go back a week later and it still working fine. So looks like I will have to do yet another project in creating a H4 simm adapter board to let me test simms out in the future, as I just don't have time to keep screwing around trying to figure out why these machines keep on dying all the time

Simm socket or are not ment to last for that many swaps. Who change memory in a computer that many times.

You can get a 72pin simm to 4 x 30 pin simm adaptor, just can't remember where from.
