In part 2 of my PET video output video series, I look at the PET models with CRTC. That includes high level and deep dive schematics, timing descriptions, and explaining some tricks that are used in demos! youtu.be/2echgDsLhR0 #8bit #mos6502

8bit-times: PET video output Pt2 (Ep.31) This video presents how the Commodore PET with a CRTC chip - as it is known from PC CGA and other cards - create the video output. === SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO - I got a new Mic and managed to get some clipping - will be better next time It is loosely based on part 1, where I explain the Commodore PET video output for those machines whithout CRTC, but can also be viewed on its own.
