I recently purchased a Nec Multisync 1970VX VGA monitor for use on my older RGB computers (Atari ST/STE/Amiga/CoCo 3/800XL with VBXE). It works well with the Amiga. Unfortunately, I can't get it to show up with my Mega STe. I haven't tried it...

After much troubleshooting, I now have VGA output from an 800XL! The VBXE plugs into the 5 pin connector on the GBS-8200, which then goes out as VGA. Unfortunately, the Apple monitor doesn't have a VGA plug, so I have an adapter to convert it....
Tonight I've taken my first plunge into finally learning cc65 and writing software for the A8. I'm attempting to convert my ten liner from the ABBUC 2014 contest over to c. Here's the first part, it redefine's the character set to be inverse:...
