600 composite color problem
« on: July 26, 2006, 10:18:25 PM »
Hey I just recently bought a PAL A600 with 2.05 (37.300) ROM installed.  I haven't installed anything on it yet (waiting for Workbench disks to arrive) but I received my Pwr. Supply today and I proceeded to turn on the comp.  The Amiga screen comes up with the picture of the disk drive, but there is no color, it just looks like variations of grey and white.  I'm using composite video out and using a Commodore 1802D monitor.  Is it supposed to display color on the bootup screen?

Yea the PAL might be the problem.  I know the monitor works with my C64, but my C64 is NTSC.  I didn't think the color would be missing because of that.

Yea I was hoping to get by with using the 1802 for the time being till I bought a better monitor, but it looks like I will need to look at other alternatives.  The screen was rolling also but I was able to correct it with the V-HOLD pot.  If I were to use a genlock, the 1802 would be able to show the color?

I did, it still has no color and the screen rolls.  Its a NTSC TV though.

I don't think the frequency of the input voltage into the PSU matters at all because it is all DC voltages coming out of the PSU and into the Amiga.
