Subject: Master 128 colour composite
There seems to be a disagreement on the web about which legs of Q12 and
Q13 are bridge with a capacitor to make colour composite video output.
Young Mr. Wolstenholme's site suggests to put it from the Base of Q13 to
the Emitter of Q12. This works, but gives a bit of a fuzzy picture,
while Sprow's
page on the same subject suggests the Emitter of Q13 to the Base of
Q12. I've tried both ways, and Sprow's method seems to give a better
colour picture.
There are copies of an Acorn document knocking around the web that back
up the Beebmaster method.
Has anyone used Sprow's alternate method for a while? Has their Master
suffered any side-effects?
Is there some kind of definitive answer to this quandry?
