Walter, Here's an ebay auction for you... C64DTV from USA, starting bid $9.99..... 360159523715 Steve ________________________________ From: "Miraglia, Walter" <Walter.Miraglia@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "torontocbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <torontocbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 1:40:02 PM Subject: [torontocbm] As a follow up to my 64 DTV Pal messages... I was able to contact Jeri about the Pal to NTSC conversion, She “turned me on to” a programmable oscillator that can Be ordered at digi-key at any frequency… although this item Won’t fin in the same spot, it can be glued to the board, and Then run the pins in… So I can order this thing at 32.7272 mhz… J and as she puts it below: “Hook 5v to it and feed the clock into the pin labeled clk in the schematic. Clko is used to drive a stand alone xtal, so it wont be needed. Jeri” So I think I will order the surface mount resisters for the video correction, and while I’m at it, I will order one of these Programmable oscillators… after chatting with digi-key tech we decided on this model: Digikey part number: ECS-P85-AX-ND for 5 volt version http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=ECS-P85-AX-ND specify frequency when ordering… ECS-P83-AX-ND is the 3 volt version… http://www.ecsxtal.com/store/pdf/ecs-p83x-p85x.pdf has anyone attempted this method? If not, (Gulp!) I may go forward and do so… I will have to be as gentle as possible, as if I mess it up, I can go to plan B (pal monitor) Speaking of which here is a very handy kit from parallax which has a 3.5” pal/ntsc monitor (320X240 native resolution) And a mini ps2 keyboard… (has a mouse as well, not really needed… ) designed to work with their Propeller microcontroller kit. http://www.parallax.com/Store/Microcontrollers/PropellerProgrammingKits/tabid/144/List/1/ProductID/336/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName%2cProductName
