I just read Ralph Landry's resistor fix for the genlock and am not sure that the symptomns he described (tearing of the screen with no video present at the input) are the ones that are bothering me. I have observed with my genlock, and with a loaner from my dealer, distorted video levels (setup and white), and strange color burst which is offset around 20 IRE down toward sync. This results in some unacceptable video when output to tape, which is my primary usage for the genlock. I sent a message to CBM and they requested that I return my unit under a "priority return", but have not done that yet. If you could find the other files (Stan's), I would most appreciate it. The Amiga is so close to being useful in some video applications that it is a real shame to see the genlock ruin it, and I'm sure that there are others out there who have given up trying to make their units work. Thanks again for the effort. Gene
