This means much more "generic" solution than the 8701, which I try to get rid of and even better in this terms than the hard to come by chips from the "discrete" clock generator in earlier C64 boards. > > Jens Schönfeld already designed such a circuit. Unfortunately it is not for sale yet, afaik. It is based on the 74HC7046, which is like a MC4044 plus 74LS629 in one chip, and it is still available easily! > > In an earlier message he mentioned the 74HC4046, don't know the difference. > > Look here: http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/board2-c64-alles-rund-um-den-brotkasten/board4-hardware/49985-neues-miniprojekt-csg8701-replacement/ TNX - indeed, he (again :-) did what I was getting to do! I shall probably still try to check how the SX solution works. I am only afraid if the perceived simplicity is not the cause for the visual artefacts. -- SD!
