There may be some differences, which affect the perceived quality of the picture, like the luma levels on the early VICs or the traces running/not running where they shouldn't but other than that VIC is far behind other things when it comes to the quality of the picture. >> >> Only the 6569R1 has the luma level limitation with only 5 luma levels while all later revisions have 9. > > I remember how once I was happy to put my hands on a ceramic R1. And how I was disappointed once I placed it in the socket and used it for a little while. I "luv" the ceramic chips but in this case I went back to the newer revision pretty soon. The 6569R1 looks a bit off when you're used to the versions with 9 luma levels. You just have to find a 6569R3 in ceramic. I have 2 of them. :) Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-02-18 22:00:02
