Videoface?What exactly could you do with a videoface and what spectrums did it work with?
The videoface does work with the +2A/+3. It probably needs a edge converter. Theres a knob for adjusting the amount of black the picture gets. A composite video socket gets the input signal. -

You easiest option is to make an AV lead (this isnt hard for a +2A/+3). Your best option is an rgb cable, giving you a higher picture quality. -

On 48k/128k hardware (and +2) then a read from a port with no hardware attached returns a mixture of display/attr bytes and $FF, depending on what is on the bus at the time.
On +2a/+3/+3e hardware, it returns $FF every time.

What PSU is suitable for +2?if I don?t have the original one, what PSU I?ll need for that?
oki, but from what I?ve read about +2 and +2A it looks like you can?t plug/use any external tape deck with +2, only with +2A/+3 :(
simply: if the [I]datacorder[/I] of +2 will screw, you?re screwed, or something. -
