Who? Personally, I have come to view these rumors with enormous skepticism. The only guy I knew who claimed to have one of these monitors was mpython, and I was never able to verify it -- this was years ago. These monitors just seem too rare to me; it's hard to believe that C= did some special production run. I have 1080's and 1084's from 1986-1990, and not one of them does PAL (composite signal of course) color, at least not with my PAL-converted 64. I'm not saying I don't believe it -- just that I'll believe it when I see it. And I would like to have one, of course :). -Steve - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
