REMEMOrizer - VGA Output

 

REMEMOrizer is great piece of kit, and the majority of users have no problems when using it. However, a couple of users have experienced some problems with the emulated 80 column card output to VGA, as highlighted on Andy's REMEMOrizer Failures page :-

  • Iain observes that REMEMOrizer's 80 column VGA output isn't acceptable to his TV (which supports VGA input).
    • Andy notes that the pixel clock used for REMEMOrizer's VGA output is 1.7% off - perhaps the TV is (legitimately) fussier than most.
  • Jon only gets 20 out of 24 lines on his 80 column output. He is using an "Advent" monitor. Reason unknown.

I thought it might be useful to tabulate user feedback on the subject in this thread on MEMEORUM - the Memotech MTX Forum. If you add your experience to this thread, I will include it in the table below :
