I don't think you can buy an eBay box. You have to be gifted one!

I just shredded one to pieces to have it fit in my paper bin ;)

We should have a moment of silence then... may that PayPal box rest in peace..

:shock: :dizzy: :lolbig:

Ok, I've started to put an 1.5 accelorator in an Mega so I put in the mega clock buffer board and have been running it. The screen sucks compared to the Exxos board.. so does my MSTE and 1040 St. This thing has noticably better contrast and color intensity. I never changed R93,92,91 to the 2.4k that is used on the mega. Matter of fact I may try the 15k on the mega. I doubt that the differient transister or diode types makes that much of a difference. Any Ideas?

I think part of the problem on machines is the resistor ladder is a higher value range of resistors than I used on the remake.. I pushed more current thought my ladder.. plus the video circuit layout is much better...

Unfortunately it makes my other displays suck... their all muddy in comparison and you can't just the monitor to fix them. I guess when I work over this mega I'll play with the video out to see if I can re-create the display.

I've been running the ExoAtari for a couple weeks. Been playing with downloaded apps, making flash disks and finally loaded NVDI. Gives bench6 a nice bump. The screen pretty much updates instantly. :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup: :dualthumbup:
