Hello!

Thank you all for your suggestions. Here's what I found:

* Yes, there is 12V on the 13th pin.
* I am actually using the composite signal and feeding it into TV. But
your mention about LCD monitors made me wonder if simply the LCD TV is
not well fit for this connection. I will try with plasma tomorrow.
* The VIC indeed gets very hot in short time. I will work on a heatsink.
* I am rather a non-standard Commodore collector, because I started
collecting just about a year ago, so I have only CBM-II related stuff -
I don't have such common things like a Commodore monitor or even a C64
;-) I guess I have a lot to catch up :-P
* I will get another VIC-II from another source and try.

I tried today, and I noticed that the picture is wavy only on the first
minute or so when the computer is powered up. After that it stabilizes,
it is just blurry. I don't know if it means anything.

Regards,
Michau.
