    Hello,

    thank you for you answers. I meant it for PAL Atari 8bit computers (with Super/Ultra video mods) and S-Video modified 2600. But I don't insist on S-Video connector itself.

    Yes the O.S.S.C lacks S-Video.

    But the SDV500 seems like a better option, because of SCART (all signals in one) plus it can handle RGB as well (for Atari ST). Does anybody have it (SDV500) , can confirm it does not have possible lag issues?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Hi! Yes it works with a stock 65XE NTSC. I don't know if the Dell display supports PAL. If you are trying to use an 800XE modded for NTSC with a UAV-D that might be very tricky or problematic.

    Hi, thank you very much for your answer. It seems that dell does not support PAL on s-video input. The monitor itself is 60Hz and that seems to be the problem, it can't handle 50Hz s-video?. I won't go for NTSC mod, I will try to get LCD TV or TV monitor wit S-video instead.

    I finally got a s-video LCD, a Dell Ultrasharp 2007FPb. Anyone here using this screen? Is it a good screen?? Does it have good s-video output? It seems a little dark. I see lots of retro users with Dell 4:3 LCD screens.

     

    With UAV installed it looks good but I'm seeing some vertical lines and also some screen noise. I think it is RAM activity induced since when I run the RAM test it changes the pattern between the ROM and RAM test. At the OS diagnostic menu the ram noise is not present. Also when playing Blue Max (for example) there is much more noise visible on the green landscape than when at a ready or DOS prompt. My wiring seems fine. I checked it four times. I wiggled wires to make sure the connections are good. After seeing the vertical bars and some noise I ran the dedicated ground off the right side of the ground pad and sliced the middle as advised. Didn't make a difference as far as I can tell.

     

    The atari s-video cable I'm using is never used and only 2 years old. Got it from the guy on e-bay selling Atari/C64 to s-video cables with left/right audio. Cable seems nice.

     

    Bryan question please. Your UAV.XEX program.. How can I change the colors bars filling most of the screen to anything other than B&W? I see in your screenshots you did that. I tried every key and they stay as white bars on a black background.

     

    edit: I just put it all back together otherwise I'd take some photos of the install. I don't think the photos would help but I'll do it tomorrow. The noise or bars won't come across in video or photos, I think.

     

    Hi Sugarland,

    I would like to ask about the Dell 2007FP lcd. I have just bought this monitor because of S-Video input. But with my 800XE (65XE) the screen is black just the S-Video input logo keeps flashing. Did the monitor worked for you before you installed the UAV board ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Peter
