There's a bit in one of the custom chip registers that controls whether the color burst is present during the vertical sync pusle time. The genlock detects this and switches the sound. I'm not sure whether there's a high- level software call to do this, or you have to control the bit directly. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
