 Can't seem to find it amongst the "stuff" in my magazine stack, but it's
in an issue of Amazing Computing. The hack is either to change a resistor
to one of a different value, or remove it altogether (depending on what
revision of the A1000 you have).  I did it to my old A1000 when I sold it
to a friend who was going to use it with a big Sony monitor in composite
mode; although the output was not wonderful, the hack did improve the
trueness of the colors considerably - red was red instead of purple...
