 Re: Insane Ebay auction for C116

You can do this on all 264 series computers. They all use the TED, and the registers and their meaning are the same. It's TED register 7 (address: $FF07 / 65287 ) that controls PAL/NTSC. When bit 6 (value $40 / 64 ) is cleared, you have PAL. If it's set, you have NTSC.

In BASIC, you'd write:
POKE 65287, PEEK ( 65287 ) AND 191 : REM PAL
POKE 65287, PEEK ( 65287 ) OR 64 : REM NTSC

In assembler, you'd write:
LDA $FF07 / AND #$BF / STA $FF07 ; PAL
LDA $FF07 / ORA #$40 / STA $FF07 ; NTSC

 Re: Insane Ebay auction for C116

the c116 is kind of cool. I think you can switch from PAL to NTSC with a POKE command (don't have at the moment). Is this true for the 116 as it is for the plus/4?

 Re: Insane Ebay auction for C116

The auction was held in US dollars. I found the auction on Ebay's US site, and thought that maybe this was a prototype NTSC machine. Once I saw the location of the seller, I knew that to NOT be the case.

But, the two people that bid like crazy on it, may have thought that it was NTSC......

It's amazing how much money some folks have. You've gotta be rich or you have to really want something... I didn't even think the C=116 was that rare, but I guess it is.
