Please enlighten me..... > The "video hack" for A1000s appeared in Amazing Computing Vol2 #7, and involved changing some resistors to improve the color balance. By the way, while we're talking about hacking amigas, I have also grounded my PAL chips, added a filtering capacitor in my starboard, and performed the 1080 monitor hack to fix the interlacing-offset and audio. I have also squished the vertical height and superglued a piece of ferrite to the end of the horizontal coil in the 1080 so I can see the 671/470 wb screen.
