    Description

    A Complete Bill of Materials (BOM) to build a VICII Switching Circuit.
    Enables your Commodore 64 to support
    both
    PAL and NTSC VIC-II chips! (
    Assembly 250407 ONLY)
    The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) was designed by
    Sean Harrington
    (aka
    "1Stage"
    ) and
    Christian Simpson
    (aka
    Perifractic
    ) from Retro-Recipes (please follow on YouTube and Like the FB page!)
    Having the ability to freely switch
    between NTSC and PAL on
    your C64 means that
    you can enjoy ALL of the games and demos ever made
    ,
    from anywhere in the world
    , with no nasty system lockups or screen flicker!
    Bill of Materials (BOM) Includes:
    1x VICII2 PCB for the C64 Assembly 250407 (not compatible with other board versions)
    1x Lumafix Inverter Chip
    2x Lumafix 47pF capacitors
    2x Lumafix precision trimmers
    2x DIP sockets

    Complete set of machine pin headers
    IMPORTANT INFO:
    The PCB is
    only
    compatible with C64 motherboard revision 250407
    This board will not work with
    a
    ssemblies: 250425, 250466 and/or 250469
    Your monitor
    must
    support
    both
    PAL & NTSC or you will see a black & white image, or possibly no image at all (please check your monitor specs carefully)
    VIC-II chips are obviously
    not
    included with this purchase, you will need a 6567 (NTSC) and a 6569 (PAL) chip (all revisions within these families will work)
    There is no support for the 8xxx series VIC-II chips from the newer C64c revisions, these have 4 additional pins than the 6xx series chips
