Is it some sort of combined sync RGB output?

I can maybe bring some spare screens if need be.

I think it's the voltage on the blanking pin or the resolution selecting pin. I'm wondering if it's wired up to use the sync on those and hoping that it has enough voltage enough of the time.

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.

I see.

Actually, once I think about it, I believe I only have 2 SCART TV screens left in the house. I cant believe Ive cut back so much. :( I guess that I had to make some room for those pesky kids. :lol:

However, I also have an old 80's Radio Shack SCART to RF modulator (for worst case needs) and if I get time to wire up the Aydin Ranger RGB monitor properly, that will free up one of the TVs.

Not sure I have much time for these shinnannigans now, seeing as I will be working tomorrow and half of Saturday, but I will see what I can do.

Random request: Does anyone have a RGBHV to RGsB conversion circuit handy? (Thats a RGBHV to RGB with combined sync on green). Its a very simple circuit needed for certain monitors to work with a 5 BNC standard RGB lead. (Machines like the Sony PS2 output sync on green RGB).

I'm guessing, getting to the desktop and being able to run a game from the floppy would count. :-)

I think I'll only be bringing my H5 & PiStorm combo & monitor. Not sure if it warrants a table of it's own or not! So if anyone else is doing PiStorm stuff... I was thinking @Badwolf if you do come, perhaps we can share a table since it'll mostly all be PiStorm related stuff? I dunno, just thinking out loud.

@PhilC are there any power sockets even near the stage or should I try and bring a long extension cable ?
