More Changes...

I have been working on a few things - mainly the damn stoopid monitor. I just couldn't adjust out the pincusion. I have also had some problems with 'snow' on the screen with some boards.

To cut a long story short - the machine now has a flat screen LCD monitor in it. I know it isn't authentic in any way, BUT...

It sits in the screen panel much better than a crt (just 4 screws hold it nice and flush)

It can be powered by mains via a little power pack, or, I could chop the wire and feed it from +12v on the switcher. Simples.

I have just ordered a RGB - VGA converter (£24 via bayface)

These screens are easily available for under £15

I now have a spinner installed and the control panel is fitted. All I need to do, to finish it is get the artwork drawn up and printed.

I have a speaker and the speaker grille ready to be screwed in.

I have 5 Arkanoid boards to mess about with to try and get 1 worker. I'm sure I can do this (when I get 5 minutes to have a play)

I will hopefully have the machine *nearly* finished sometime on Monday (I have a day off after the Latitude festival)

Yay!
