I don't think the c64s problems ended at interlace though (especially the early NTSC 64 clock VIC2). It certainly doesn't end at interlace ;-) We discussed this one more time only a few weeks ago. > Not only is there an additional cost to make the Amiga multi standard, but they would have less ability to charge different prices for different territories. They wouldn't have to keep two inventory sets though ;-) IMHO the most important reason is that there was no business case / selling point to do this. In the only application where fully correct timing really mattered, every Amiga /was/ multistandard capable. In every other application, the differences where practically irrelevant. As Gerrit mentioned - 1%.. People had their TV sets misadjusted by far greater margins those days. -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/ Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-11-04 19:02:02
