The microcontroller demo doesn't use encoded outputs, it has separate RGBHV but still very cool.

20MHz to do the sound and gfx including sync... v cool.

Yes it's B&W ! Additionnaly 27Mhz is too much to display an 320*200 picture!

Yeah, I know. It's the SDTV natural frequency.

Oh you are talking about the Craft Demo. Yes it's an RGB design (impossible to do PAL signal without an true composite output with an simple uC).

How about using parallel port instead of floppy? since its much faster (IIRC), and more accessible
so that we could use memory cards instead of ZIP diskettes and similar..
Better sorry than worry.
