A capsule summary. 1. Active Electronics has a $25 line item minimum so you have to buy more than you need. 2. The strange parts (Delay line, Chroma bandpass transfomer) are available from Digikey in the Toko section. 3. The spec sheet is miserable, but the stuff you need to know is in the application note. (AN932) 4. The way the color burst is generated is hokey, but you can override it. 5. The output is NTSC, or close to it, with all the limitations that implies. Hint: there is a reason the original IBM Color Graphics Adapter has a 40 column mode for text. There have been projects in the first year of Circuit Cellar Ink, in the series about an automated home weather station, and in Radio-Electronics (December 1989). Mark Zenier markz@ssc.wa.com
