First of all: I need a moniter cable from a dead monitor.
I am building the RGB->composite converter with the instructions from
Anees Munshi (ver 1.0) does anyone have any hints/tips for me?
One tip that would REALY help is how to order the MC1377 chip, I
haven't found anywhere (read that 'even Motorola') that can get the
right order number...

2:  A hint that may or may not be obvious for those of us lucky ones who
can ftp :-)  when tring to find a program on terminator try:
'cd /atari', 'mget */firstpart*'
say you are looking for overscan.arc
'mget */overscan*' if it finds a match it will report the path/name and ask
'y/n', answer 'n' and cd to the path. (answering 'y' won't work)

3:  A long while back I asked why Uniterm was crashing on my system, I
found out a short time later... Personal Pascal v1.0 does something bad
on 1.2 TOS.  To see what I am talking about:  go to any dialog menu (in
help screen, not terminal screen) select 'cancel' and quickly go up to
menu bar so that a drop down menu should come up.  Vola! cursor disapers,
and nifty junk is left behind mouse!

I claim Personal Pascal is the offending software because other programs
written with it do the same thing: GEM kermit, and another that I can't 
remember right now.  This behavior has been confirmed by a nice person
who's name I forget.  Please at least try it before flaming me!

PS: Please reply if this helps... Its lonely being a Ma***g repairman!
