Hardware & information for the VIC-20
The first step is to create this breakout board to isolate the A/V signals from the video output stage on the VIC's motherboard.
I hope that it will allow me to see what signals the 6560 outputs natively, then start to build on that.
BTW, yes I know there are boards out there that already do this. I've not had much luck with the free or paid-for boards, so I want to ... TRY TO ... understand it myself. Let's see ...
